AIDS combined with genital warts requires anti-HPV treatments on top of HIV treatment. When necessary, comprehensive treatments such as laser and cryotherapy are also needed. This should be managed under the care of experienced infectious disease specialists and dermatologists. AIDS treatment requires long-term, standard anti-HIV treatment, primarily adopting cocktail therapy. It is essential to take the medication on time without discontinuation, as irregular or arbitrary cessation can easily lead to drug resistance.

How long is the incubation period for genital warts?

The incubation period of genital warts is generally difficult to determine, varying mostly from half a month to eight months, depending on individual constitution or the amount of virus contracted. This disease is primarily caused by sexual contact, but some people may contract it by visiting public baths, swimming, staying in hotels, using public toilets, or using contaminated towels. Once diagnosed, it is imperative to receive standardized treatment, avoid spicy and stimulating foods for a long duration, refrain from staying up late, engage in regular exercise, and strengthen the immune system. During treatment, sexual contact must be avoided to prevent cross-infection. Generally, a complete recovery can be expected with proper treatment.

Are common warts and genital warts the same?

Common warts and genital warts are different. Although both common warts and genital warts are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, they belong to different subtypes of the virus, and their routes of infection also vary. Common contact or touching objects contaminated with the virus that causes common warts can lead to infection, and the affected areas can be located throughout various parts of the body, including the external genitalia, genitals, and perianal area. Genital warts are primarily transmitted through sexual contact and are a sexually transmitted disease. This disease is generally spread through sexual intercourse, leading to cross-infection between partners. The most common locations for genital warts are the external genitalia, perianal area, and the mouth. Genital warts generally do not grow on normal skin. Once genital warts appear, the treatment period is longer, and the recurrence rate is higher. Common warts usually can be treated successfully with one or two conventional treatments.

How to determine if you have contracted genital warts?

Genital warts appear as cauliflower-like growths and continuously increase in size and number. This disease is a sexually transmitted infection (STI), spread through sexual contact. If one has had unprotected sexual encounters, or notices new growths in the genital area, anus, or mouth that gradually increase in size or number, it is possible that these are genital warts. In such cases, it is best to visit a dermatology department at a reputable hospital and perform an acetic acid white test for diagnosis. Once diagnosed, it is crucial to receive proper treatment, as the warts can proliferate and potentially be transmitted to others through sexual contact. The overall treatment period for this disease tends to be lengthy, involving both laser treatment and medication.

Will pseudosharp be itchy?

Pseudovestibular papillomatosis mostly does not cause itching, but it is possible for some individuals to experience itching symptoms, which depend on each person’s specific circumstances. Typically, pseudovestibular papillomatosis appears as clusters of smooth, white or pale red bumps the size of fish eggs. They are usually found on the inner sides of the female labia minora and the vestibule of the vagina, and do not produce noticeable symptoms. The acetic acid white test is also negative. Because pseudovestibular papillomatosis is related to the irritation from female genital secretions, severe vaginal inflammation can potentially cause itching due to local irritation. In such cases, it is important to improve immunity, exercise regularly, change sanitary pads frequently, bathe often, and actively manage vaginal inflammation to alleviate symptoms. Some individuals mistakenly treat pseudovestibular papillomatosis as actual genital warts after visiting unregulated facilities, which is unnecessary.

Symptoms of infectious genital warts

Genital warts are caused by a papillomavirus infection and are a type of sexually transmitted disease, mainly spread through sexual contact. They frequently occur on mucous membranes such as the foreskin, glans, vulva, anal area, or mouth. Initially, a small granulation tissue appears, which gradually proliferates, enlarges, or multiplies, exhibiting a cauliflower-like growth. If the warts grow larger, the surface tissue becomes fragile, and lightly scratching may dislodge a piece of tissue, potentially causing bleeding. Once this disease occurs, it is essential to seek professional treatment at a dermatology department in a reputable hospital, as the disease is highly contagious and prone to recurrence, resulting in a lengthy treatment period. Sexual contact should be avoided until completely cured to prevent transmission to others.
