wart question

I recently had a suspected single wart removed from the shaft of my penis. The doctor said he wasn't convinced it was a wart but removed it to be safe. That was 7 months ago. I have not had sex since. I have been trying to gather as much information as possible but it is very conflicting. I recently found a quote from Dr Handsfield @ http://www.medhelp.org/posts/STDs/GW-risk-from-three-years-ago/show/1986084  ; here he states a single wart is very uncommon and that when the wart is gone and no recurrence then you are free from the virus. He has also stated before that if you are wart free for 6 months you are effectively cured, although I understand this can never be 100% the case but can someone tell me if this is reasonable assumptions to make as some other information on the subject can be pretty depressing.

Hi
I have recently discovered that what my GP said about HPV vaccine preventing recurrence of HPV warts may be true : pls google "gardasil recurrence"

For peace of mind, you might want to consider gardasil or cervarix vaccine

If you dont have HPV, you dont have to worry even if you take the shot..... also generally speaking the vaccines are considered safe (although there are debates, see below)

There are two types of HPV vaccines, gardasil (tetravalent, protects against 4 types of high risk HPVs ie type 16,18 (anogenital oral cancers),6 and 11 (warts). Cervarix protects against two types of HPVs only ie 16 and 18, causing cancers of the anus,oral and genital


Maybe you have it in you, so that the vaccine may give you peace of mind, as it enhances your chance of avoiding recurrence (as per google info above)

Even if you dont have it, you are then ensured to be protected by the relevant coverage of the vaccine that you used above

One note -- from ppl who are against vaccines - they said vaccines are essentially toxic to some ppl, and adverse events are not uncommon,

But to my knowledge, lethal adverse event is [generally speaking] uncommon. Any medication may at times cause lethal problem in rare instances

Ppl against vaccine said aluminium present in the vaccines are toxic the nervous system

My first shot was on my left upper arm, and it was painful for 1-2 week and the area where I got the shot somewhat had this grey halo spreading about 2cm from the center, and i was pretty scared.  Also, during that 1 week, my left arm (upper region) was in pain, and the whole arm had this mild weakness feeling - this is no other than side effect and seems to imply neurotoxicity. I had HepB vaccine on the arm, and this didnt occur to me as I recalled

Ppl who are against vaccines said this is due to toxicity of aluminium.. and this Aluminium can cause significant reduction of glutathione, and this is bad for the cells in the nervous system -- some of these claimed that data are available to show that glutathione was drastically reduced when vaccination is done in the central nervous system (hence they said this caused autism in some children vaccinated)

Whatever it is, I took daily glutathione after the problem occur and the problem somewhat disappeared at wk3.

For my 2nd shot, I insisted my doc to do it on my upper thigh.  This was without any significant problem compared to the arm shot I had earlier.
I also supplemented myself with glutathione for 1 week right after 2nd shot

HTH

The doctor pretty much sumed it up and he is an expert in this.
