Hand warts and cervical cancer
If a woman is fingered by a man who had previously suffered from warts on his fingers, but had had them frozen off, does she stand a risk of contracting cervical cancer? Is the strain of HPV that causes digital warts transposable to the genitals?
Howdy :)
Exactly. We think by quoting sites from the general media, one is spreading false fear. I don't know how many times I said it: news media sites sensationalize things. Their cheapest (easiest) tactic is to use statistics to sensationalize. 250% increase from 2 equals five out of a huge number. But only the 250% increase is mentioned. I myself mentioned those who drink two or more cans of soft drinks per week an 87% more chance of pancreatic cancer than those who don't. But that statistic, too, left out other numbers. So to bluntly parrot what the non-experts say certainly does not help one bit....Hi Mags!
Malin basically because you have fears of oral issues doesn't mean they are real fears. I have done quite a bit of research and the fear based info online is just unfounded. If you can't get past your anxiety about it do not have oral sex. At the same time try not to scare others. What you should do is advise the to use protection when having any sort of sex with someone they don't trust. To not smoke at all and to limit drinking because those two things are what adds to the risk or oral issues associated to HPV. These risks are found over a long period of time and there are many options for treatment to prevent it from being a real threat to life.
HPV is spread via skin to skin contact. It is simply a skin condition. It is very common.

Thank you!
Hollyv...I respect your appreciation of this topic :) Hugs!
To: Nomine—The HPV virus that causes warts on the fingers is an entirely different strain than cause’s cervical cancer. There is no risk for cervical cancer.
Malin—I can go on the internet and pretty much find an article that will support my position on anything. You will find a lot of information that is either not true or inflated information. HPV is confusing enough without your comments with a limited understanding. The point of this Board is to share experiences and to support others and not to scare people that are having a difficult time with their diagnosis or trying to understand HPV. You have posted medical abstracts and want people to explain them to you. A lot of the information YOU are posting is inaccurate. I have read the abstracts you posted, and not only that I have gone to the trouble to read the entire paper (you only get a small amount of information from the abstract—I am not going to explain them to you). I will say that one of the studies that you posted had a very small sampling (number of participants) that statistically would be deemed not credible due size (in order for statistics to be credible they have to apply to large numbers for an inference to be made in the general population). I suggest until you get become really well versed in medical research and/or statistics or get a medical degree that you stop posting information that you do not understand. Your comments are only scaring people that have mild infections or no risk of infection. The American Social Health Association (which I have no idea who they are but they are not one of the major US medical organizations) reported 5.5 million but maybe as high as 6.2 million (YOU Inflated THE STATISTIC by saying that it was categorically 6.2 and they are guessing on the 6.2 but that is the statistic that you chose to post. This would also include High risk and Low risk HPV and low risk has no serious health impact) Your attempt to inflate the figures is distressing and is just plain ignorance of statistics. It is known that 80% of people will have HPV (that includes high risk and low risk) at some point. It is also known that most people clear the virus. HPV is spread skin to skin, but it has also been found in other areas of the male anatomy. In some studies the highest prevalence was found on the penile shaft, but it is found on the glans penis (the head of the penis), scrotum and in the urethra and semen (it appears you are incorrect on the body fluids). It has also been found under fingernails! But HPV clears in most people. And if you want me to comment on statistics, Let’s use yours that are not correct—WOW 6.2 million infected—Then it appears that those that those that are diagnosed with cervical cancer with HPV are low at approx 11,000 per year, or oral cancer 37,000 (1/4 related to HPV so approx 9,250) and penile cancer related to HPV is approx 800 per year. So let’s do the math on your over inflated 6.2 million – (11,000 + 9250 + 800 = 21,050) and let’s throw in anal cancer with approx 5,000 new diagnosis per year; so 6,200,000 – 26,050 = 6,173,950. Let’s look at the numbers 26,050 diagnosed with HPV and cancer—they did not die, many are treated satisfactorly (a small number die but those are usually those that have not seeked a recent medical consult in more than 4-5 years) and according to your stats there are still approx. 6 million, one hundred and seventy-five thousand that were diagnosed with HPV but do not get cancer. The US population is approx 310 million so the approx. 26,050 new diagnosis does appear small—Please for anyone reading this I don’t diminish any person that becomes ill with cancer, I am just trying to put some realistic numbers out there for those that are overly worried with a recent HPV diagnosis. Cancer is very real for those that have it and for their families—The problem with the diagnosis of HPV is that it is scaring many people for no reason that have no risk of proceeding to cancer. And HPV is a real problem in under developed countries that lack proper nutrition and health care, it is a problem in the US but it is not as large a problem.
Malin: You don’t understand HPV 16, so you should not comment on it. You don’t get HPV 16 from massage, maybe from a massage parlor when you proceed to unprotected sex.
Malin: From your past posts you should not be commenting on oral sex, you should give up oral sex. It is possible you should give up sex completely until you find a monogamous relationship that is safe, because a sexual relationship implies a “risk” that you appear to not be able to take. And actually a good sexual relationship involves trust which you appear to be lacking. You might want to talk to a professional counselor before you make any further posts because you appear to be fixated on the risk with oral sex that for most people is an acceptable risk. You appear not be able to handle this risk but you need to understand that it is not appropriate for you to try to force your paranoia on others.
Let me repeat this again—There is very little risk of cancer with oral sex. I will not debate my post with Malin and I will stand by what I have written. My feeling is my post is done for information for other people that are reading and this should be the end of this thread.

Hmmm...I guess this can be true, but also mis-leading. I never slept with anyone who had visible warts and contracted HPV. I had 2 normal paps after abnormalities on my cervix were removed. Now that I'm married, have only slept with my husband, and I am pregnant, my cells have changed so much, that dormant strains of HPV have flared up in the form of warts, on my vagina, yet I have only slept with my hubby for the past 5 years. I hope you can see where I am coming from. Dormant strains of HPV can change over-time.
Read what the doctors write in lots of internetsajt. NOT fluids,
If the person you have intercourse with not has visible vart dont med anything ! the varts from HPV 16 are flat and you cant see them, but the are the and give you virus by friction and "massage"
How Can HPV Be Transmitted?
Approximately 6.2 million new cases of sexually transmitted HPV infections are reported each year, according to the American Social Health Association. The HPV virus is spread via skin-to-skin contact and not through the exchange of bodily fluid. Transmission usually is from vaginal, oral or anal contact. Women more likely to have HPV are women who were sexually active at a young age, have different partners and those whose partners have had many partners. Other less commonly known risk factors include smoking, nutritional wellness, uncircumcized males and oral contraceptive use.

Hpv IS contracted through fluids...that's how I contracted it. Please don't mis-inform people, Malin. The person I had intercourse with had NO visible wart. There are MANY strains of HPV!
no I ask the doctor now, HPV dont contracted through semens or fluids or saliva, only skin to skin
I have heard this is possible, but not likely. Genital warts are typically contracted through semen (or fluids) and genital skin to skin contact. The warts on his hand are a different strain than that of genital warts.
