hpv/gardisil

Hy, I had few bumps (skin colored) one year ago. Few months ago physician diag. it as wart.Canathrone plus was applied and the warts fell down in 2 days. But in 1 week at the peripheries of the original warts more warts in classic cauliflower shape and black in clor(not skin color) has come up.WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

do males have test to find the starain that caused wart and to find whether they have high risk wart to cause penile cancer or cervical cancer?How can I be sure of safety of my fiance's safety(still VIRGIN and GARDISL protected) from gardisl just by assuming that I have one of 4 strains that gardisil provide protection.Infact gardisl is in process of releasing new  vaccine that claims to protect against 9 strains. please advice.

Oh good grief.  Not marry?  Because you may have a high risk strain (or any other strain) of HPV???  If that were the norm, then 80% of all people worldwide would never be able to marry!!!

Stop worrying about this and move on with your life.  Get married and forget about it.

That's all for this thread.  Also note the MedHelp rule that permits a maximum of 2 questions every 6 months on each professionally moderated forum.  Before next December, any new question on this forum will be deleted without reply and without refund of the posting fee.

thanks for reply. Hope you understand the reason behind the ques.Honestly I am 34 yrs and have had protected sex with 13 to 16 women(sex workers) in last 2(2011-12) years and was not sexually active before and for past 8 months i am not sexually active..I never did oral.i believe i had tiny wart atleast 1.5 yrs ago.diagnosis made only in mar.2013. Now it is visible cluster in shaft that is considered out break and currently being treated with cryo.
The lack of tests to find whether i have high risk strain in my body makes me frustrated but you say it really does not matter anyways but my concern is whether i have and will i give her a high risk strain not covered by gardisil.should i wait for symptoms of high risk stains and decide marriage?if so what symp. should i look for? I am also evaluating whether i should marry or not in life because i fear of hurting some one.

Asking the same questions in new thread won't change the answers.

It probably means nothing that your warts have changed somewhatin appearance, but for a definite answer about it, you need to return to the doctor who made the diagnosis.  Presumably he or she also is treating you for the warts; follow that advice..

There is no approved test to determine exactly what HPV type you have, and it really doesn't matter anyway. The strains of HPV that cause warts are different than those that cause cancer, so your future wife will not be at risk of cancer on account of your warts.  And as we already discussed, you can assume she is protected from your wart virus infection by the Gardasil.  In addition, if you are treated and your warts are gone before you start having sex with her, she probably will not be at risk.

The 9-strain Gardasil vaccine probably won't be available in the US for a few months or a couple of years.  We don't even know for sure that it works.  Assuming it does, it would be good for your fiance to have it.  But for now, she should take the standard 4-strain vaccine.  She can always have the new vaccine in addition, if and when it becomes available.
