I think you are referring to the infections of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) which is commonly known to cause viral warts throughout the skin and mucosa of the human body.Originally posted by matrixeg:1 lumps on the underside of the penis = what std?
2 sores on the mouth = what std?
3 anal sex will lead to what std?
They have a lot of strains, but the most notorious happens to be HPV strain 16 and 31 if I am not wrong.
Please note that my field does not involve in-depth STD information, hence my knowledge may be quite superficial. Other fellow forumnites are requested to participate in answering questions to this thread.
I shall leave this thread to be managed solely by thinkdifferent (please take note). -
1 lumps on the underside of the penis :
As renorenal said - Human Papilloma Virus, and also Molluscum contagiosum,
which is a benign viral infection of the skin causing small skin-colored bumps. It's caused by a pox virus.
2 sores on the mouth :
Caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1) which causes mouth and lip rash, blisters. There is also HSV-2 which causes itching rash on the genitals, it's called the genital herpes. Either strain of this virus can cause either rash, though 75% of genital herpes is caused by HSV-2.
3 anal sex will lead to what std?
HIV/AIDS,
Chlamydia (bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis which causes various sexually transmitted diseases. Chlamydia is currently the most common STD),
Syphilis,
Hepatitis B and C (you can be vaccinated against Hepatitis A and B),
Gonorrhea (caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae) which may cause abdominal pain, vomiting, fever, sore throat (pharyngitis), arthritis, skin lesions, and discharge from the eyes, anal and rectal itching, anal discharge, painful bowel movements, and painful anal sex may occur. Gonorrhea can affect the prostate and testicles in men. In women, it can cause pelvic inflammatory disease.
Chancroid, which is a highly infectious bacterial disease caused by Haemophilus ducreyi that affects the skin and mucous membranes of the penis, vulva, urethra, and anus. It produces painful irregularly shaped ulcers. -

i am particularly interested in this one.
my buddies always talk about this std, poking fun at people, saying that they have the "broccoli".
do you hav more info on this? -
Broccoli because they look like genital warts... it's a fungating growth (have you seen a fungae before... they tend to grow outwards) that starts from either the mucosal (inner tissues) layer or the skin (external)...Originally posted by matrixeg:1 lumps on the underside of the penis :

Genital warts are commonly caused by your Human Papilloma Viruses too... some of the strains causes benign growth, whereas others which attacks the cervix causes malignancy, and when discovered early and intervened with the appropriate measures, the patient may be spared from its complications (which is local spread of the metastatic lesions to the surrounding areas - urinary bladder, uterus, cardinal and supportive ligaments and rectum)... -
Detailed comments will be left to thinkdifferent to describe...
If possible, ms thinkdifferent, could you list out the potential harmful strains of HPV and the ones that may only cause benign growth, such as the warts you see on the fingers?
There is however according to the latest news that they have invented a vaccine against HPV strain 31 which claimed that once the females have reached their sexually active age, and when given these vaccines, they will be immunized from that deadly strain which can cause malignancy.
However, it is just against one strain, furthermore, the trial study was only for 6 months, and the subjects were very limited, though it may be worldwide, but a few thousands usually yields not much results...
Best is still prevention rather than cure... -
Alot of peoples now dun take HERPES seriously.. but to me... i am damn scared...

i neber had sex!

Sure, I can give detailed comments, but though I have "attacked" mom's books to search for the particular harmful strains, haven't found them. So it stays just by the comment.
There are more than 30 different strains of HPV, some of them referred to as high risk types, can lead to cancer of a woman's cervix or penile cancer. Other types that are not likely to cause this infection are designated as low risk.
All warts are caused by a strain of HPV. Some types of HPV cause genital warts whereas other types cause common skin warts. Genital warts can develop on the cervix, penis, or in the vaginal or rectal area. They look similar to warts that might appear on the hands, feet, or other parts of the body. (Warts on the
hands and feet are not transmitted to the genitals.)
Genital warts, like warts on other parts of the body, are dry and painless, firm and rough in texture, and usually grayish or skin color.
High risk strains of the virus are linked to cervical changes in women and could possibly lead to cervical cancer. High risk HPV strains are those that are least likely to cause genital warts. Two of these same high risk strains are those that can cause penile cancer in men or anal cancer in those individuals who engage in anal intercourse.
So you still can have HPV though you have no warts. That's even worse becuse this strain of HPV can cause cancer. -
Well, HSV-1 carries a big percentage of the population, but it usually makes no problems except the blisters on the lips, around the mouth or in the mouth once in a while, usually when your immune system is weakened due to some infection. Sometimes the blisters can occur on other place, like your hand, I know a person who had herpes in her eye. By immunodeficient persons (persons whose immune system is very weak, usually due to a strong infection, or AIDS, or other reasons like leucemia or overdosis of gold or malnutrition) herpes blisters can occur also in brain or other organs ad that can be really dangerous.Originally posted by BadzMaro:Alot of peoples now dun take HERPES seriously.. but to me... i am damn scared...
If you are a normal healthy person, you shouldn't worry much. And ofcourse be careful and don't catch the HSV-2. -

is it hereditary?
can masturbating with unclean hands cause this? -
Mostly through sex or direct contact and even transfer of fluids...Originally posted by matrixeg:only passed around thru sex?

It is not hereditary, you are not born with the virus unless the mother has genital warts during pregnancy, then a Caesarean Section would be much safer to prevent direct contact of the baby with the wart as the baby is being delivered...
If you touch a patient with warts (meaning touching the warts without wearing gloves) and don't wash your hands, yes you are likely to get it...
Medical students are proned to getting warts because they often ignore simple safety precautions such as washing their hands before and after examining patients and wearing gloves upon examining patients...
