Question : Hello
During the last year I had 4 sexual partners (girls). This summer I see some warts on my penis, I go to the doctor and I get HPV as a diagnostic. I wrote you before, I got good advices. Now I have two questions:
1. Should I tell those girls to get a control?
2. I felt the need to masturbate and the second day the opening was like a wound. It got better in 3 days, but still, what do you think about it?
Also, "These sexually-transmitted HPV viruses are spread through contact with infected genital skin, mucous membranes, or bodily fluids..." that means I could have got it by just kissing someone infected and I could spread it in the same way?
thank you

Brief Answer:
Avoid sexual contact for time being.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX.
As i conveyed earlier, HPV will spread by sexual contact, and so to inform your partners about positive test, is entirely your decision.
1. If you convey it, they can start treatment in time and check their blood and see a Dermatologist or Gynecologist.
2. My own suggestion is to delay masturbation or further sexual contact, in immediate future, till the lesions heal completely.
You're right about spread through body fluids.
Get well soon.
