[Question #10734] Question #10717] HP warts follow up. Your comment

20 months ago

For Dr. Hook. My last follow up.my promise. I have counselling scheduled for today.

To your comment that you have never seen in your practice occurrence of warts from masturbation performed with condom on. More than 30 yrs of work from what I have read of you(impressive, if I may say).

I guess then I will not be your first such occurrence?

As it happens, I'm the one taking this question but I re-read both your two previous threads, and agree entirely with Dr. Hook's comments last time.

Accordingly, I don't understand why you're back this time. FYI, my experience is the same as Dr. Hook's: in my 40 years in the STD business I also have never seen anyone with warts from masturbation (or oral sex, for that matter). You will not be the first in his experience or mine.

Please note the forum does not permit repeated questions on the same topic or exposure. This being your fifth recent question about HPV risk from oral sex or hand-genital contact (including one that was deleted), it will have to be your last one; future new questions on these topics will receive no reply and the posting fee will not be refunded. This policy is based on compassion, not criticism, and is intended to reduce temptations to keep paying for questions with obvious answers. In addition, experience shows that continued answers tend to prolong users' anxieties rather than reducing them. Finally, such questions have little educational value for other users, one of the forum's main purposes. Thanks for your understanding.
