Can get HPV (warts) through contact with semen?
I know HPV (genital warts) can be passed on by direct contact with infected areas, but what about semen?
What if the guy never touches the girl, but only his semen touches the girl's skin?

Hey everyone my names Ayden
Iv'e had the HPV since i was 17 and I was raped. Currently I'm 21 and have put all of that behind me. I've had a total of 8 surgeries so far. My case has to do with the virus located within the anus cavity. So i don't really know what it looks like apart from pictures on the internet. But I figure most of it has been removed during the surgeries.
I've avoided dating and sex for years and i want to start again, But I'm embarrassed and I don't know how to go about telling people that I have HPV. I also continuously have rectal bleeding. I'm also gay and prefer to be on the receiving end of intercourse. But like I said i'm just scared.

Hey Lancelot,
I've had this bug for 3 years I'm thinking. All I have to say is, not fun at all. I have starved myself of Sex. This week I got over being asexual so I've started dunking my genitals in a cup of acv/water, drinking acv in the morning, and I'm soon to stop shaving my genitals (just did unfortunately before reading this thread, I can always tell when people have done their studying and this is a subject I've had trouble finding solid concerning for years.
Anyway, my problem is that I am a smoker. I hope that these will go away with my current treatment while smoking (yes, I am week) this was the third time I did the cup of ACV today for 45 minutes (15 on balls and penis, 30 on penis and a lot of fat pad) this is the fourth day since my first treatment, although yesterday I took a break after burning my balls with a moreso concentrated solution than needed. I used arnica for the burn and lavender oil, rosehip oil with vit e afterwards for all areas. I used an arnica gel though, amazingly though, the wrinkled scary skin looks like it's normal wrinkled self again.
Luckily I am not a drinker although I am around a lot of alcohol all of the time.
If you're smoking, don't be stupid like me. You need to stop smoking immediately and get your head examined if you do not.

Reading many research studies, the medical community hasn't figured out HPV to the level we want it.
"It should clear on it's own in 1-2 yrs if in your 20's; 3 yrs if in your 30's."
---bogus. I just turned 30 and it took longer than the 2 yrs and I'm not even fully sure that my wart strain is now dormant or not.
During the first 6 months, the virus is quite active. It can be frozen off, but requires more treatment (as was my case.) my advise: after 6 months, try to treat it more aggressively so that the visible signs are attacked. I believe that promotes healing.
It is a rather frustrating virus to get... We don't understand it. My own beliefs and mission is to do my best to never risk it to a gf/partner. This means, for me, very serious preventative measures... Aka, no oral, no sex to me. It gains a very high level of respect from any potential gf btw.... But also yours/her frustration too.
***How much do you care to protect her?!

it is said that the body can clear hpv wart virus in 6-12 months....given a healthy immune system...smoking if u do may suppress it...good that these warts r gone off ur skin!and nice that u have concern for ur girlfriends health....worrying about transmitting virus thru handjob yes a tad ridiculous.....and the docs say using condoms reduces the risk 60-90%....very frustrating with this damn hpv that the exact error margin is unknown....so these r decisions between the 2 of u...and good that ur concrned and will take precautions..its all one can do!
Well the warts are already gone....I never meant I had them still. (but yes i know it's still in my system somewhere)
What I mean is I don't know what to base my decision on because, while some things may be risky, it could still be uneccessary since the risk is so minute. Like as if I never get into cars because there's a risk I could crash and die. It's silly.
Is, say, getting worried about tramitting the virus through a handjob ridiculous along those lines?

what sexual activities u and ur girlfriend decide to do is up 2 u....its not a matter of morals.....its a matter of risking her picking this up from u!even wearing a condom doesn't prevent her from getting warts for the virus is in ur skin areas surrounding penis and she can still pick it up from unprotected areas not covered by a condom.....handjob would be less risky but transmission always possible.so u and ur doctor r waiting for the warts to go away on their own?
Doctor didn't prescribe anything as the warts didn't seem severe. They were a bit of redness on the shaft, not lumpy, just flat, and went away in about 2 weeks.
Then came back once more a few months later for same duration. That's the history of it.
My girlfriend says she'll get the HPV vaccine before we do anything, but that's going to take 6 months for the entire process.
So prior to the 6 months, I should not do any genital to skin contact of any sort right?
So should I tell my girlfriend not to give me even a handjob then? I guess it's all about how much we are willing to risk, I get that, but I still have no idea of just how risky it is. I don't know what to base my decision on.
Is getting a handjob more risky than having protected sex with condom? Hmm
What sexual activities am I morally aloud to do with my girlfriend?

wiping semen off could rub some in2 skin....and forgot to ask what r u treating these warts with?what does ur doctor advise?
did u read my other reply to u?yes there is a minute possibility that the virus could pass from ur skin to hers....she wouldn't get warts on her hands.....but could end up with them on her genital area since HPV lives in skin....main method of transmission is genital...skin against skin in genital area.Genital warts are strains 6 and 11 with HPV.....all others go take up residence on the cervix.
Thanks for your reply.
So wiping the semen off the skin (not vagina or mouth) makes it better? But there's still going to be semen left even if you wipe it, unless you shower directly after. Right?
It seems like from reading the replies and general information, all sexual contact is off; well more specifically that ALL kinds sexual contact, no matter how subtle, COULD lead to HPV trasmission (with varying degrees).
So even a simple handjob? Like there's a possibility that I could pass HPV warts from my penis to her hand? Just like that? (even if she doesn't touch herself afterwards)

the docs in this forum would most likely say low probability but minutely possible.....hpv transmission is genital to genital......penetration cuz HPV thrives in dark moist airtight places....even tho it can go thru the skin and i would think that semen would be wiped off rather quickly unless person swallowed it!
