HPV Symptoms

While the overall risk is low, you can get an STI from fingering. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are commonly passed through vaginal, oral, or anal sex, but there are several that have the potential—both theoretical and real—of being transmitted by hand-to-genital contact if there is infected semen or vaginal fluids on your fingers. This article explores what the risks of STIs are from fingering and what you can do to avoid them. Verywell / Laura Porter STI vs. STD An STI is the same thing as a sexually transmitted disease (STD).

Fingering is when you use your fingers and hands to stimulate your partner's vagina ...

Nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) is the inflammation of the urethra (the tube through which urine exits the body) caused by something other than gonorrhea . By far, the most common cause is chlamydia. Although other bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites can also cause urethral inflammation, NGU is transmitted almost exclusively through vaginal, anal, and oral sex. NGU is more common in males than females, causing symptoms like itching, pain when urinating, and a discharge from the penis. In females, there may be no symptoms until complications like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) develop. The treatment of NGU depends on the underlying cause. This article explains the causes and symptoms of nongonococcal urethritis, including how the condition is diagnosed, treated, and prevented. supersizer / Getty Images Gender Definitions For purposes of this article, "male" and "man" refer to a person with a penis, and "fe...

A recently launched campaign doesn't mince words when it comes to the human papillomavirus (HPV) and why everyone should get vaccinated against it. The aptly named HPV Fucks Everybody campaign is the brainchild of 2023 MM+M Agency 100 honorees Publicis Health Media and Digitas Health as well as the nonprofit F Cancer.  The goal of HPV Fucks Everybody is to highlight the risks associated with HPV, which includes developing cancer and genital warts, in an effort to encourage young people to get a vaccine to prevent infection. On the campaign's website, people can schedule a vaccine appointment at a number of prominent retail pharmacies, including Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Walmart, Target and Kroger. HPV Fucks Everybody is supported by a 30-second and one-minutelong commercials and is being out-of-home promoted nationwide. This includes advertisements placed across 150 campuses, 150 malls and on lifestyle websites like T...

You may already know some of your triggers if you get cold sores (also known as fever blisters). Maybe you experience an annoying outbreak whenever you're sick or work gets stressful. But could anything else be contributing, like the foods you eat? Internal medicine physician Rafael Fernandez Bohorquez, MD, explains what causes cold sores and what to do when you feel one coming on. Why do I get cold sores? Cold sores are the result of a herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, the same virus that causes genital herpes. HSV spreads from person to person through kissing or sharing items like drinks, utensils, towels and lip balm. There's no cure for HSV, so once you catch the virus, it stays in your body forever. But having an HSV infection doesn't mean you always get cold sores. "HSV can remain in a latent, or resting, state in your body for months or years," Dr. Fernandez Bohorquez explains. "You get a cold sore when something triggers the virus to become active...
