STD Question

What's up ladies and gents?
I've got kind of a personal quesiton. I had unprotected sex with a guy who had genital warts, (cringe). To make things really fun, he lied to me and said his STD test was clean, (obviously I wouldn't have gone near the damn thing if I had known!!!). Now, I had myself tested after numerous incounters and I somehow did not get them. Do you guys think maybe there was something wrong with my test results, or did I just get hella lucky???? Is it possible not to contract an STD from someone who has one?? Should I get tested again. This sucks so bad

It's possible but not likely. Genital warts are tricky business because there are many different kinds, all with different symptoms and implications. Some women do not know they have HPV until they get an abnormal pap back. HPV takes anywhere from 4 weeks to 4 months to 20 months to manifest physically. Yes, you should get tested again, and get a pap done.

I hope you've learned an important lesson about unprotected sex, though

That reminds me of the second time I had sex ever. The first time I used a condom but it felt like I was doing a rubber glove so I never got into it. The second time (later that day) we both said fuck it it sucks with a condom so we did it without. Damn was I scared when she thought she got genital warts (which later turned out to just be an ingrown hair).

Thanks for the info. Yea, I had a pap done and everything was normal. However it was only 4 weeks after we had, had sex. That bastard. Having an STD at the tender age of 19 sucks ass. I'll just keep praying.

Well, I researched HPV and it is not that bad. I would be worried if my pap was abnormal, (as that could lead to cancer) but it wasn't. Apparently, it's curable, and in most cases treatment isn't even necessary.

Yes, it would be best to consider this a lesson on life.
Force condom use on your boyfriends from now on.

Buy yourself some condoms, if you are caught in a situation where the guy does not have one, you will. Not many girls do this, but they all should.

Various STDs differ in their infectivity. If they were truly warts it is likely a viral infection called Condyloma Accuminata (HPV). You ought to see your Gyn or Primary Care Provider for a PAP smear and pelvic exam. Not to put the fear of God into you but Condyloma can be associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer in the future. Infectivity isn't 100% but you ought to get checked out nonetheless.
If he had blisters or ulcers it could be a whole spectrum of other possibilities - most commonly Herpes which is very highly infective and stays with you for life. In fact people who are known to have one STD are at risk of carrying others at the same time - especially if you don't know the guy very well. Your doctor would probably run a standard screen for a whole panel of STDs including HIV. This isn't overkill and I'm not trying to scare you. I'm dead serious. I'd advise you get it done ASAP. It's better to have peace of mind than to constantly worry about it. Let us know what happens.

Wow. That's scary. You really need to be careful. Never, never trust a guy about that shit. You can get laid now and die later ;-)

Sex isn't worth risking your life and well-being.

I sure as hell am glad I am not 19 now. When I was out raise hell and screwing anything in a skirt, a quick shot and a fews weeks of keeping it in your pants sufficed for everything.

Please be real careful!

It's possible, but sometimes it takes a while for your body to show antibodies to an infection. I'll reiterate what longbough says - talk to your obgyn, get tested again periodically, as there's a demonstrated link between HPV and increased risk for cervical cancer.

It's important to note that many STDs, including HPV, can be transmitted even when you don't see any external lesions (e.g. warts, blisters, ulcers etc.). Many carriers (especially male) can be honestly unaware that they have Herpes, Chlamydia or even HIV because the infection can be unseen. So, even if you don't see any warts or sores I'd still be cautious if I were you. HPV is notorious for sitting around in the body for YEARS even before showing any lesions. So a single PAP won't clear you - it's something you need to get regularly as long as you're sexually active.

You're only 19 so I'm going to get a little preachy right now. I've seen young folks who contracted HIV, syphilis or Hepatitis from only a couple of unlucky encounters (even with "nice", educated and upper-class people). I'm not saying you shouldn't have fun (God knows I should talk), but you shouldn't have to learn about the "ugly" part of life the hard way, understand?

I'll be the first to admit that I had my "irresponsible" fun years ago - I just consider myself lucky that I never got anything serious - but I know people who have - please don't become one of them.

The possibility of getting an STD is greater for a woman than a man, simply because of the anatomy. You may have been lucky and not contracted anything this time. Also don't trust anyone about a STD check. All STD's have incubation periods, from days to months. You do need to follow up with your medical provider.

My friend's cousin told me that "everyone in Mexico has genital warts." She was exagerrating, but she is also a sex educator and was trying to put some fear into my friend and I . She also explained that condoms are not 100% effective against HPV because the warts may be in an area that is not covered. Also, there is no test available to see if you have the virus. The only way to find out is from an outbreak or the abnormal pap that women sometimes have. So unless you know the guy was lying, he may well not have known even if he was tested for "STDs." Be careful though and always use rubbers for many other reasons as well.

BTW, NIH (National Istitutes of Health) usually has the most up-to-date info on all kinds of health stuff.

You're fine now. From now on either use a condom or get a notarized copy of his STD test results so you don't have to go through this shit again.

that's the thing. You can wear a condom and still get it. You can have no visible signs and get it, or have it. It can cause cervical cancer. It can affect babies when you're giving birth. You can get a form in the throat that is very serious (causing constriction in the throat and you have to undergo surgery to help it), through this passing on from parent to child, or even through (god forbid) oral sex (very rare but heard of). So... HPV can be pretty serious, and hardly preventable really. People don't talk about it much, yet lots of people have it. Lots of people who have it don't tell their partners because a) they don't know they have it, b) they don't think it's too serious. Also, the treatment for the visible warts in women, implies minor surgery... HPV is also there for life.

I'd get another Pap in a few months. Let what happened be a lesson to you...

edit: just read the NIH factsheet and all of what I mentioned is on there...very informative

Vincent speaks true.
Follow this advice.

All us boys and girls should have a few handy if we plan on bumpin uglies with someone we aren't with exclusively. Sharing body fluids can be devestating these days.

Hey, no reason to feel retarded. He may not have even had an outbreak at all. In which case, your chances of contracting HPV are significantly reduced.
