Anal warts can be a huge nuisance in those that suffer with them. All strains of warts, including anal are caused by the human papillomavirus. There are 100 different strains of the HPV virus. Millions of people carry the HPV virus which causes anal warts and many of them do not know. Many people who also carry the HPV virus never see an anal wart on their body. Anal warts can be considered a sexually transmitted disease because those who have anal warts from having unprotected intercourse tend to also have genital warts as they are close together. In order to contract genital warts the warts need to be on the other person’s anus or genitals, this is how the warts spread. There is an extremely high chance that having intercourse with an HPV infected person leads to the contraction of anal warts. Many people do not realize that just sharing a towel or personal item with someone who has anal warts can be bad. Sharing products which closely touch the body can lead to an anal wart infection. There is also one strain of anal warts which are red in color. These anal warts are a sign of the second stage of a syphilis STD infection. Anal warts have a long incubation period which leaves a rather large gap of people who may have the disease. Anyone who shares towels or boxers or anything which puts the skin into contact with someone else’s can lead to contraction of anal warts. Having to live with anal warts can be painful and uncomfterable for the person who has them. Anal warts can be so bad that a person cannot comfterably sit or go to the bathroom with out the warts becoming sore. The appearance of anal warts is different to those of normal warts on the body. Warts on the anal area are jagged and range from pink to brown in color. Having hand contact with warts cannot put the anal warts onto the hands. Warts which appear on the hands are called common warts and are a different strain entirely. Although it is painful and unsightly a doctor can remove anal warts. The only thing a doctor cannot remove is the HPV virus in the infected person. Once someone has the HPV virus or contracts it there is no cure. Not unlike herpes warts may come in outbreaks over the years.
