HPV and abnormal PAP

Do all strains of HPV cause an abnormal PAP?
I got this from my current bf. He used to have rather large warts in the hair area, but I found some very small ones in the inside of the vagina. Is that the same virus causing different type of symtoms or could he have more strains?
Thanks

Re: HPV and abnormal PAP

Not all strains of HPV cause an abnormal Pap. Do you know for sure you have HPV, have you had an abnormal pap? Are you sure his warts are caused by HPV and not herpes? It is possible to have more than one strain, but there aren't any tests available for men, so there really is no way to be sure.

Re: HPV and abnormal PAP

I know genital warts and genital herpes are two different things, but I have friends who have not known what exactly they were dealing with and have confused genital warts and herpes. They think HPV and the herpes virus are the same thing. I was simply asking for the sake of that.

This sentence is a little weird. Nothing like bad grammar to confuse things. ALL warts are caused by HPV. Herpes does not cause warts or look like warts. If you are asking if maybe the warts he has are actually herpes because he is confused, maybe a little rewording would have helped, that's all.

As for the original question, not all strains will result in an abnormal PAP result. The same as not all strains can eventually result in cervical cancer if left untreated.

Usually genital warts like to stay in that area, and other strains like other types of skin (or areas). If he had some in his pubic hair, but not on his genitals, it's unlikely it's the same strain that has shown up in your vagina. There are well over a hundred strains, and they are very common.

Also, saying there are not tests for men is a little off, because if a guy has a visible wart, then there is something to test. When they say there is no test, it means there is no test when there are no visible warts, i.e. there is no blood test.
