Does anybody know any sites that list symptoms of allergic reactions, and mistaken STDs, etc. by any chance, i have been getting bumps (sorry to be so gross) on the area, but whenever i look at any STDs i don't ever have any of the symptoms except for the red bumps, so im thinking its possible it may be an allergic reaction to the soap or shampoo i use, any help? Thanks...

Peace and Love,
Dan

How do you go about asking a partner whether he or she has been recently tested for std before engaging in sexual activities?? It's such a sensitive topic.

[GlitteryLLama]

i read on the internet that 80% of people have HPV (human papilloma virus akka genital warts), and it's an std you can get even if using a condom!

so, how can u protect yourself, if u can get it even with a use of a condom (like, skin contact etc)?

is it true? do 80% of you guys there have it? http://www.hipforums.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif

anyway...
if anyone here has it -- what do you do? i mean, sex-related...
bc then when u have it, you cannot really protect the one who you sleep with from it...

wow - does this mean in a decade or so, everyone will have it???

Here is a good advice:
STOP HAVING SEX!

[happyhippy9797]

Yeah, like 30% of women in America have HPV. I got it while using comdoms. Many times a carriers shows no symptoms and doesn't even know they have it. It sucks, no one ever told me that you could get it even with a condom. Beware! Even doctors will say it's not the worst thing you could have, but that's not how you feel when it's you.
