Genital Warts

This is not a sexual health topic so mods please don't move this

Never knew much about this until Thursday and since then my curiosity has been piqued, we all(80%) of us have genital warts.

Knowing this, would you consider before changing partners, using protection (a lot of people still don't use protection)
Or where you ever aware of this previously?

It's about 80 cases per 100,000 of the population

You are a genital wart.

Are ye happy now!?

Ghost Train · 22-12-2007 4:12pm

somebody on the pi forum said once upon a time, if you've had sex you propably have them, so the op's numbers are probably more realistic

on the bright side you can you this classy chat up line "I'd love to infect you with my rampant genital warts ..."

+1 don't have 'em

leninbenjamin · 22-12-2007 4:14pm

probably means you have the virus but not necessarily the warts?

MagicMarker · 22-12-2007 4:16pm

-1 from me also.

:eek:

Plopped out the cluster and checked the knob/shaft/seam/the eye/the banjo string/the root.
Then checked the ballsack.Other than a bit of stale knob cheese-nothing!!

Stop trying to spook people!!!

Where are you getting the idea that 80% of the population have GW (on their bush

)?

Where are you getting the idea that 80% = all?

Did you miss/skip the day they did percentages in primary?

Ghost Train · 22-12-2007 4:22pm

maybe there should be a poll to find the real percentage (assuming the infected come forward)

Nevyn · 22-12-2007 4:27pm

80% of sexually active adults have a strain of Human papillomavirus.
Some strains manifest in large genital warts, some in mircoscopic genital warts and some in some people have no sympthoms.

Some strains of Human papillomavirus can cause cancer of the cervix.

Rather than posting links, can you show us how you calculated 80%?

I saw the link in the first post. Where is the 80% figure coming from? Maybe you could copy part of the text in and highlight it [80%] for an old geezer?

How common are ano-genital warts in Ireland?

Ano-genital warts, the clinically visible manifestation of infection with human papilloma virus (HPV), was the most commonly notified STI in Ireland in 2005, with 3,456 cases notified. This corresponds to a rate of 88.2 cases per 100,000 population.
This does not reflect the incidence of HPV. Ano-genital warts represents a very small percentage of sexually-transmitted human papillomavirus infections as infections with most types of HPV do not usually cause warts.
In Ireland, ano-genital warts are most common in younger age groups: 20-29 year olds represented 65.5% of all cases in 2005.
Of the notifications received in 2005, 54.9% were males and 44.8% were females. Gender was unknown for 0.3% of cases.
In 2005, rates were highest in the HSE-W (162.2 cases per 100,000 population), HSE-S (111 per 100,000 population) and HSE-ER (101.8 per 100,000 population). However, many people travel from their area of residence to STI clinics outside that area so this does not necessarily reflect cases in those HSE regions.

And TheBigLebowski 80% means 8 out of 10 sexually active people.... i guess a little math wont kill you. Start-Programs-Accessories-Calculator

Tallaght_01 is correct, though Thaed also has a valid point, whether her % is accurate or not.

Sorry to be a pissy pedant (it's the mathematician in me), but where (exactly) are the figures 8 out of 10 OR 80% referred to in that?

This is the only relevant figure I can see:

Ano-genital warts, the clinically visible manifestation of infection with human papilloma virus (HPV), was the most commonly notified STI in Ireland in 2005, with 3,456 cases notified.

And this is the rate:

88.2 cases per 100,000 population.

The latter figure is equal to 0.088%.

Are you going to admit you were wrong instead of getting aggressive? Just wondering.

tallaght01 · 22-12-2007 5:27pm

HPV causes genital warts

But not everyone with HPV gets warts. Most don't. You usually get rid of it on your own.

A high percentage of people who are sexually active will have the virus on their genitals at some stage in their life, for a variable amount of time. Like i said, most of them won't have warts. But while the virus is there, you can catch warts from them.

Nobody knows how many people have HPV at any given time.
I think it's about 15% in low prevalence areas. I think the OP is referring to the fact that in some countries 80% of sexually active women will have had the virus (not the warts) at some point in their lives.But it is simply not true to say "80% of sexually active adult have a strain of HPV".

I remember it being much higher in Africa.

The link supplied by the op confirms the prevalence of actual warts to be about 80 in 100,000

TheBigLebowski · 22-12-2007 5:51pm

lol, don't be nasty.

There's a lot of miseducation about STDs in the general population. This of us who work in medicine have to take some responsibility for that, too.

It's one of the reasons why there are 40 million people+ with HIV in the world etc

So mebbe this thread will serve a purpose.

Doubt it though, yiz randy knackers

Condoms don't protect 100% against warts as they're transmitted by skin-to-skin contact, not by fluid.

Tallaght I thought that was the same virus that causes cold sores:

- there is no cure.
- it goes dormant.

You're thinking of herpes, mate.

The cold sore virus can give you an attack of herpes. Though it's brother is the most common culprit.

You can treat warts (but not the virus) but you don't want have to go through it

It's painful stuff.

And sadly, wearing johnnies doesn't protect against warts.
