thanks grace i checked that link but it didnt give a clue about the time that it takes for the 1st symtoms to appear
hpv won't show signs unless you develop an obvious wart.
the signs of herpes are described in the free herpes handbook - http://www.westoverheights.com/genital_herpes/handbook/view_the_chapters.html

Ok.I understand that now.really appreciate it .
but you guys mentioned that you dont even recommend testing unless symptoms appear,right ?
what are the early symptoms (of the primary infection of HSV and HPV)?
and when do they usually appear?
thanks again ,you guys are doing a great job here...

It is where you draw the line for "risky" and what we term "risk". Low risk is just that an activity (one time encounter generally falls here). Your encounter had very little risk. That isn't to be confused with "No Risk" (which if you had clothes on or he did would be classified as no risk). Your encounter included a brief risk for HSV and HPV. In the sense they are transmitted the same way (skin to skin contact).
What she is trying to point out is that some types of HPV can be protected against and thus she recommended getting the gardasil shots. But yes there was a low risk for both.

I'm now confused

no penetration required - pretty much the same as herpes. penetration increases the odds of transmission but not absolutely necessary.
that's true ,i guess people are not familiar with that too ,i mean the anal cancer from HPV
does it require ,penetration (anal sex )to be transmitted?or just skin to skin contact ??

in 92% of cases it does. it's the infections that linger longer than that that are the issue.
there are just as many cases of anal cancer from hpv as there are cervical hpv cancers. it's well worth being educated about :)

i understand
is it true that body keep fighting HPV and will be totally clear from it after 2 or 3 years ?

I always ask about gardasil in general because hpv is as much of a risk as herpes is and many providers aren't discussing it with eligible patients so while we are talking sex, might as well cover that too :)
did the encounter i mentioned earlier put me at real risk for HPV ?
i'm not sexually active ,and that encounter supposed to be a massage only until he crossed the lines

it's also approved for males too. They are recommended for gay males in general by most providers. if you are in the age range that covers them but your insurance won't cover it, go to your local health department for them.
no, hsv1 doesn't provide any significant protection against hsv2.

is it true that if a peson is HSV-1 positive will have antibodies that might even fight hsv-2 and put the person in a lesser risk for hsv-2 ??
No,should i ?
i asked my provider about that a while back but she said they only recommend it for teenage and women !it's a HPV vaccine ,right ?

this was really low risk and honestly we don't even recommend any testing from it unless you develop symptoms. totally up to you if you feel it's worth any follow up testing for or not but if you do, you have to wait at least 3 months post encounter to do so.
have you had your gardasil shots yet?
grace

Also if you do choose to test (again i wouldn't bother unless you get symptoms) wait 3 months and get a type specific igg test.
I hate to sound rude but ignore tedabell. Her information is off.
Genitial rubbing can lead to HSV infection. But it really requires heat and friction to transmit the virus. If he was just rubbing in say a circle motion and it was light chances are you wouldn't catch HSV. The mutual masturbation wasn't a risk for you.
Tedabell is way of HSV-1 and HSV-2 can affect both locations. So its not just HSV-2 is gential. There is a time where the virus will cause an outbreak and that is 2-20 days. If you have no symptoms I wouldn't bother with a test. This was low risk activity.

And yeah I am hsv_1 positive according to the last std test I had back in july 2010
Does that minimize my risks of catching genital herpes??

I think I didnt make it clear
My question was.when should I do the test so as the results will be accurate?
lile after week/month/of exposure?
