I just recently was diagnosed with genital warts I am 10 weeks preagnant and amd very scared I was diagnosed at the hospital and have not yet seen my docter for treatment I fretted over how I got this virus and started researching the HPV virus a word came across that sounded familiar my sexual partner/ babies father had juvenile laryngeal papillomatosis from age 1 to age 12 I read that that is considered a HPV and in that case does that mean that is how I got genital warts because he carried the HPV VIRUS or does that work like that! I read that JLP is cause from Juvenile Papillomatosis, laryngeal: Warty growths on the vocal cords. Most common in young children. Recurrences are, unfortunately, frequent. Remission may occur after several years. Papillomatosis of the larynx can be due to the baby contracting human papilloma virus (HPV) during birth through the vaginal canal from a mother with genital warts (which are due to HPV). Each year, about 300 infants are born with the virus on their vocal cords because of maternal transmission. SO does that mean my baby will be at risk for the same thing its dad had! And my boyfriend claims he did not know he carried the virus! How can this be true?
