20 yr old male recently diagnosed with hpv. Any Advice?

[origin787]

I'm a 20 year old male who just got diagnosed with HPV and I'm freaking out. Does this mean I won't be able to have a wife and kids? I'm feeling very scared and if anyone who has gone through this situation before could give me any resources or advice I would really appreciate it. Thanks

no,it's information from scientific studies as well as from the hpv info on ashastd.org and the cdc.

Ok, this information is from your personal doctor?

typically if the warts don't reappear in a year, you've "cleared" the virus and the risk to a partner is minimal if even that.

Question Grace: Even after I have the warts removed, won't I still be able to pass on HPV? If that's the case, it's going to be pretty difficult to get a girl to stick around I would think.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

just have them cut if off. the quickest and easiest way to deal with this :)

genital warts are a cosmetic concern,  not a health risk. they are no different from a wart on your hands or feet. no reason to think you won't have a family or anything like that from this!

[origin787]

It's obvious. No, I have not had it treated yet. Any suggestions about treatment?

so you have an obvious wart?  has it been treated yet?

I also have hpv I don't know a lot about it but I do want to assure you that you will be able to have a wife just be open with her and if she can't accept it she doesn't deserve you. Also you will be able to have children I have two beautiful children and another one the way. I was also scared when I found out but it will be ok.
