Comment posted Why Won’t My Friend That Thinks She Has Genital Warts Go To The Doctor? by BOO..
She’s either really nasty or really embarrassed.
You could go to the free clinic and get all the information for her.
Or you could just remind her if she doesn’t sort it out she can’t have sex with anyone because condoms don’t stop them spreading to other people.

- she is emarassed
- She is probably scared like my sister was…but I hope she goes soon, because it can get very serious with no treatment ! My sister ended up in the hospital for 2 days because she waited so long. !
- She doesn’t want to believe that she has genital warts. Its a pretty personal subject too. She’ll need to go on her own and find out.
- maybe she’s miserable and wants to infect other people or maybe she wants someone to lick the blisters and suck the puss out of it.; )
well at least thats why i would want to stay with genital warts. - i guess it depends on age but if your fairly young, she could be worried that her parents will see the bill and know that she is sexully active. the whole situation is uncomfortable but your being a good friend by wanting her to get help!

- If You Have Hpv Is It Always Detectable In A Pap Smear?
no, not always detectable in a pap smear… - If You Have Hpv Is It Always Detectable In A Pap Smear?
A Pap test looks for abnormal cell changes, but a Pap test can miss these changes so it is important to have annual Pap test with HPV testing. www.thehpvtest.com
A normal Pap test does not mean “no chance of cancer.” It means there is a very low chance that cervical cancer is present. Because the Pap test is not perfect and can sometimes miss irregularities, including cancer, you should have the test on a regular basis to decrease the chance of missing cervical cancer or dysplasia If you notice unusual vaginal symptoms, such as bleeding between periods or pain during intercourse, you should see your health care provider even if your last Pap test was normal.http://www.arhp.org/healthmatters/Unders…
The Pap test is a very good screening test, but it is not perfect. A single Pap test may miss up to 20 percent of abnormalities. Changes that are missed once are usually found the next time.http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/under…
All so HPV can regress and reoccur.
Your Pap test looks for abnormal cells your HPV test shows you have one or more of the 13 high risk types the test screens for.
You can test negative for high risk HPV and still have the virus. The HPV test will not show abnormal if there is not enough cells in the testing sample or your body is keeping the virus suppressed.
HPV test are standard of care for the woman over 30 or your doctor may order this test at any time.
They are about 15 high risk HPV types. The vaccine only prevents two high risk HPV types 16 and 18. The vaccine also does not treat the HPV types that you have. If your HPV test was positive you one or more of the 13 high risk HPV types the HPV test screens for.
Even though you are getting the vaccine it is still important to have annual pelvic screenings Pap with HPV testing.
Clinical trails are hoping to show that the vaccine also helps the body build antibodies to the infection when they already have the virus.
Good luck with the vaccine. - What’s The Best Cure For Genital Warts In Male?
It seems to spread very easily, but I’m not sure exactly how (maybe check out webmd.com?). The most common treatment is a perscription drug called Valtrex, but I’ve heard people say there are natural cures for this disease (maybe try naturalcures.com or mercola.com?). I think they advise using protection if you have herpes. You should go to a doctor and have him/her do a blood test to determine that you do have herpes. If you are too embarassed to go to a regular doctor, go to Planned Parenthood. They take appointments for guys, too. - Can I Get Hpv Again With My Same Boyfriend?
if you’ve tested positive it never goes away. - If You Have Hpv Is It Always Detectable In A Pap Smear?
it will never show up on a pap smear. A pap smear shows any changes in the cells of ther cervix, not what caused them. As far as I know, HPV is diagnosed via blood test.
Although HPV is the major cause of cervical cancer, it’s not the only cause. No other causes will show up on a pap smear, as I said, the pap only detects changes in the cells, not the cause.
All the best to your friend

She is probably just embarrassed.
Chances are she wants to make sure for her self that that is what it is.
So she doesnt have to go through any degrading situations and find out its not warts.
She will go in her own time.
And if she doesnt and it does get worse then its her own fault.
But its her decision.
And nothing you say or do will change her mind about it if she doesnt want it changed.
Just give her time.
Like i said if she doesnt go and it is something bad.
Then its her own fault and nobody elses.
At least you tried.
Because she is hoping that they will go away on their own, and she won’t have to do anything. Only problem is, they are associated with cervical cancer, and the problem will not go away. She may need to google the condition on her own, rather than listen to you. Suggest she looks it up on the Net to protect herself. Then she’s doing it on her own without feeling pushed into it.
You could carry her into the office with her pants pulled down and it wouldn’t help then. If a person does not want to face their health issues they won’t. You just need to wait for her to show more signs of being curious and ready to then really help.
You aren’t being ignored and your efforts aren’t going to total waste. She’s just paying more attention to the fear. If she brings it up just LISTEN and ask her the kinds of questions which will help her decide for herself. Or try giving her options if she’s just afraid of making an appointment: “I have off this weekend. We will go saturday or sunday you can choose either day and we’ll face it together.”
She’s either really nasty or really embarrassed.
You could go to the free clinic and get all the information for her.
Or you could just remind her if she doesn’t sort it out she can’t have sex with anyone because condoms don’t stop them spreading to other people.
why are you even worrying about it so much? they won’t cause her any problems other than unsightlyness and spreading them to other people. unless you sleep with her, leave her alone. it’s her problem if she doesn’t want to get medication for it.
i guess it depends on age but if your fairly young, she could be worried that her parents will see the bill and know that she is sexully active. the whole situation is uncomfortable but your being a good friend by wanting her to get help!
