You can only get genital warts from skin-to-skin contact with someone who is infected. You can't get genital warts from using the same shower as someone with genital warts.

What STD causes boils?
There are some sexually transmitted infections and diseases (STIs/STDs) that can cause what might commonly be referred to as a boil or an ulcer. * Boils that occur as a result of an STD most often appear when someone contracts a sexually transmitted bacterial infection such as chancroid or syphilis. Both infections can cause very painful open sores in and around the genitals as well as on other areas of the body. In the case of syphilis, those boils are called chancres, and they can appear on the genitals, in the vagina, on the cervix, lips, mouth, breasts, or anus during the first stage of infection. Boils or ulcers from chancroid look similar to syphilis chancres, and can be painful and might produce a pus-like substance. * Sometimes, herpes (HSV), molluscum, or genital warts (HPV) is mistaken for the beginning stages of a boil or ulcer from chancroid or syphilis, because they can all result in bumps on the skin. * Chancroid and syphilis ulcers are usually painful and eventually they open up and become wet. Herpes lesions can be painful, but they are often smaller and clustered, and they don't open in the same way that a chancroid of syphilis ulcer might. Whereas molluscum and genital warts can cause bumps, but generally, they aren't painful or wet at all.
How do you tell someone you are not copying them if you did the same thing they did?
If a person would like to tell someone else that they did not copy off of them even though they came to the same conclusion, simply say that they are mistaken. Often times, there is only one logical way to find an answer and more than 1 person will come up with the exact same solution as someone else.

Is it possible to clone someone then to edit the egg and can you clone someone so that they are the same age as you?
We do not have any means by which we can accelerate aging or development in order to make a clone that is the same age as the organism from which it was cloned, and I do not expect that any such technique will be developed, either. If you are cloned, your clones are going to be younger than you are.
Are hpv and genital warts the same?

Can a wart on your finger cause genital warts?

What causes gentle warts?
Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Over 100 types of HPVs have been identified; about 40 of these types have the potential to infect the genital area. About 90% of genital warts are caused by two specific types of the virus (HPV-6 and -11), and these HPV types are considered "low risk," having a low cancer-causing potential. Other HPV types have been strongly associated with premalignant changes and cervical cancers in women. HPV-16 is responsible for about 50% of cervical cancers, and types 16, 18, 31, and 45 together account for 80% of cancers. Common warts are not the same as genital warts and are caused by different HPV types that infect the skin. Genital warts are indirectly associated with use of birth control pills due to increased sexual contact without the use of barrier protection, multiple sex partners, and having sex at an early age.
Can plantar warts be the cause of a positive HPV result on a pap smear or is it only caused by genital warts?
No, plantar warts cannot cause a positive pap smear. For HPV to show up on a pap smear you would have had to be exposed to it during intercourse. Also you can be positive for HPV on pap smear and not have "warts". There are many different strains of HPV and some of them do not cause warts. There are five different strains of the HPV virus that have been linked to cervical cancer and this is why it is important you get tested during a Pap smear. However, the kinds of HPV that are linked to cancer don't usually cause warts. So remember this, just because you don't have warts doesn't mean you don't have some form of HPV. HPV is actually very common and most people who are sexually active have been exposed to some kind of it. If your pap comes back positive for HPV there are many things that your gynecologist can do to prevent progression to cervical cancer. There is no cure for HPV, but the symptoms can be treated. Talk to your doctor about whether you should treat visible warts. They usually go away with no treatment, but they may also spread. Most people decide to treat them because of the symptoms or because of how the warts look. But if you don't have symptoms and are not worried about how the warts look, you can wait and see if the warts go away. If you do decide to treat genital warts, talk to your doctor about the best treatment for you. There are prescription medicines you or your doctor can put on the warts. Or your doctor can remove them with lasers, surgery, or by freezing them off. Even if you treat visible warts or your warts go away without treatment, the HPV infection can stay in your body's cells. It is possible to spread genital warts to your partner even if you have no signs of them. There are over 100 different types of HPV viruses and you can get planter warts from someone who has genital warts. It is a virus that infects your system not just one area of skin. You can get them on your hands, feet, mucus glands(mouth,throat,ect.)genital areas, face, and anus. The virus can be transmitted by direct contact of the infected area to an unaffected area or by touching the warts on someone and then touching your own skin or area of access. The virus can also be spread sexually which is most common and by using the same towel or other personal article that comes in contact with the exposed warts of someone who is affected. The virus can stay in your system for years and is possible to never go away. If you have a positive pap you need to make sure you do a follow up exam so they can do a visual cervical check because not all genital warts are external. You can get them on your cervical walls and cervix where they will go unseen unless you ask for a visual exam for them. This exam is somewhat uncomfortable because they have to move the speculum around to inspect it. Even though planter warts won't cause a positive pap, you can get planter warts from the same HPV virus strain that causes a positive pap to appear.
Who can get the HPV vaccine and what does it do?
The approved age range currently is from 9-26. It is recommended that girl receive it between the ages of 12-18, but older women can get it, too.The vaccines provide protection against HPV, different strains of which can cause both genital warts and cervical (and other genital) cancers.Gardasil is also approved for male for the prevention of genital warts. Gardasil has 4 strains of HPV, 2 of which are common cause of genital warts. The Cervarix is only for women because it has only 2 strains (same one as in Gardasil) that commonly seen in cervical cancer.It is thought the protection against HPV will be life long, but the vaccine has not been around long enough for studies to prove this.
Can Genital warts go away?
Generally speaking, you can get to a point where you no longer have visible signs of genital warts, but the virus can lay dormant in your body forever. It is unknown whether the virus is completely eliminated or reduced to undetectable levels. The dormant virus can become reactivated when the immune response against it is compromised (ie during chemotherapy, HIV/AIDS). Most people do not realize this, but the virus is the same virus that causes simple warts on your fingers, etc. Human Papilloma virus can occur anywhere on your body. Some of the strains of HPV can persist throughout life without a person ever having an outward expression of having warts leaving them unknowingly infected.
How long do warts take to go away?
Without treatment, genital warts may go away on their own, or they may get worse. If warts are causing symptoms, you may consider seeing your health care provider for treatment. Treatment doesn't necessarily make them less contagious. In addition, treatment of warts doesn't increase long-term health risks; warts do not turn into cancer. Without treatment, warts may take months to disappear. Treatment options include creams to use at home, which may take months to see an effect; acid or freezing treatments, which typically take at least two or three treatments a couple of weeks apart; or surgical removal. See related link for reliable information from the CDC regarding genital warts and treatment options.
Can taking a shower in the same shower as someone taking steriods give you roid rage?

Genital warts?
DefinitionGenital warts are soft, wart-like growths on the genitals caused by a virus. Genital warts are a type of sexually transmitted infection (STI).Alternative NamesCondylomata acuminata; Penile warts; Human papilloma virus (HPV); Venereal warts; Condyloma; HPV DNA test; Sexually transmitted disease (STD)Causes, incidence, and risk factorsThe virus responsible for genital warts is called human papilloma virus (HPV). More than 70 different types of HPV exist. Several types cause genital warts.Genital warts may be found on the penis, vulva, urethra, vagina, cervix, larynx, and around and in the anus.Other types of HPV are associated with common or flat warts found on other parts of the skin, such as the hands. However, people will not get genital warts from contact with warts on the hands or other parts of the body.HPV infection around the genitals is common, although most people have no symptoms. Even if you do NOT have symptoms, however, you must be treated to prevent complications and spreading the condition to others.In women, HPV can invade the walls of the vagina and cervix. These warts are flat and not easy to see without special procedures.Certain types of HPV can lead to precancerous changes in the cervix, cervical cancer, or anal cancer. These are called high-risk types of HPV.The following are important facts about how HPV and genital warts can be spread:HPV infection is passed from one person to another through sexual contact involving the anal, oral, or vaginal skin or mucus membrane. It is possible for genital warts and HPV to be spread, even when no warts are visible.You may not see warts for at least 6 weeks to 6 months after becoming infected with HPV. It may also take longer, even years. Because of this, when you first notice genital warts, it does not mean that you or your partner has had sexual contact with someone outside of your relationship.Not everyone who has been exposed to the HPV virus and genital warts wil develop them.The following factors put you at higher risk for getting genital warts, having them spread more quickly, having them return, or having other complications of HPV:Having multiple sexual partnersNot knowing whether someone you had sex with had STIsBecoming sexually active at an early ageUsing tobacco and alcoholHaving stress and other viral infections (such as herpes) at the same timeBeing pregnantHaving an immune system that does not work well, such as during cancer treatment or AIDSIf a child has genital warts, you should suspect sexual abuse as a possible cause.SymptomsGenital warts can be raised or flat, and are usually flesh-colored. They may appear as cauliflower-like growths. Sometimes they are so small and flat that they cannot be seen with the naked eye.Common places to find genital warts:Females most often have warts inside or around the vagina or anus, on the skin around these areas, or on the cervix.Males most often have warts on the penis, scrotum, groin area, or thighs, as well as inside or around the anus in those who have anal intercourse.Both males and females may have warts on the lips, mouth, tongue, palate, or throat (larynx)Other symptoms are rare, but may include:Increased dampness or moisture in the area of the growthsIncreased vaginal dischargeItching of the penis, scrotum, anal area, or vulvaVaginal bleeding, with or after sexual intercourseHowever, many people with HPV infection often have no symptoms.Signs and testsA genital examination reveals flesh-colored to white, flat or raised, single or clustered lesions anywhere on the genitalia.In women, a pelvic examination may reveal growths on the vaginal walls or cervix. Magnification (colposcopy) may be used to see lesions that are invisible to the naked eye. The tissue of the vagina and cervix may be treated with acetic acid (dilute vinegar) to make the warts visible.A Pap smear may note changes caused by HPV. Women with these types of changes often need more frequent Pap smears for a period of time.An HPV DNA test can identify the high-risk types of HPV that are known to cause cervical cancer. It may be done as a screening test for women over age 30, or for women of any age who have a slightly abnormal Pap test result.TreatmentGenital warts must be treated by a doctor. Do NOT use over-the-counter remedies meant for other kinds of warts.Your doctor may treat genital warts by applying a skin treatment in the office. Or, the doctor may prescribe a medication that you apply at home several times per week. These treatments include:Imiquimod (Aldara)Podophyllin and podofilox (Condylox)Trichloroacetic acid (TCA)Surgical treatments include:CryosurgeryElectrocauterizationLaser therapySurgical excision (cutting them out)If you develop genital warts, all of your sexual partners must be examined by a health care provider and treated if genital warts are found.After your first treatment, your doctor will schedule follow-up examinations to see if the warts have returned.Women who have had genital warts, and women whose partners have ever had genital warts, should have Pap smears at least once a year. For warts on the cervix, women may be advised to have Pap smears every 3 to 6 months after initial treatment.Women with precancerous changes caused by HPV infection may need further treatment.Young women and girls ages 9 - 26 shoul be vaccinated against HPV.Expectations (prognosis)Most sexually active young women become infected with HPV, but very few remain infected for more than 5 years. In many cases, HPV goes away on its own.Most men who become infected with HPV never develop any symptoms or problems from the infection. However, they can pass it on to current and sometimes future sexual partners.Even after you have been treated for genital warts, you may still infect others.Certain types of genital warts increase a woman's risk for cancer of the cervix and vulva.ComplicationsSome types of HPV have been found to cause cancer of the cervix and vulva. They are the main cause of cervical cancer.The types of HPV that can cause genital warts are not the same as the types that can cause penile or anal cancer.The warts may become numerous and quite large, requiring more extensive treatment and follow-up procedures.Calling your health care providerCall your doctor if a current or past sexual partner is found to have genital warts. Call if you have visible warts on your external genitals, itching, discharge, or abnormal vaginal bleeding. Keep in mind that genital warts may not appear for months to years after having sexual contact with an infected person.Call your doctor if a young child is thought to possibly have genital warts.Women should begin to have Pap smears at age 21.PreventionTotal abstinence is the only foolproof way of avoiding genital warts and other STIs. You can also avoid STIs by having a sexual relationship with only one partner who is known to be disease-free.Skin near the warts and around the genitals, anus, and other areas can pass the virus from one person to the next. Therefore, male and female condoms cannot fully protect you. Nonetheless, condoms reduce risk and should still be used. They reduce your chances of getting or spreading STIs. These precautions must be taken at all times. HPV can be passed from person to person even when there are no visible warts or other symptoms. See: Safe sexStop smoking.Two vaccines are available that prevent infection against four of the HPV strains responsible for the majority of cervical cancer in women. The vaccine is given as a series of three shots. It is recommended for girls and women ages 9 to 26. See: HPV vaccine for more detailed information.ReferencesDiaz ML.

If you see a meteor shower in Georgia will someone else see the same meteors all the way in Washington state?
They won't see the same meteor as you do, but they will see a meteor shower, as they are falling in many parts of the world. So they will see ones that you don't, but both of you will be able to enjoy watching a meteor shower.

How do third world countries shower?
Technically people in third world countries don't "shower" they bathe. With whatever they can, may it be the stored up water someone has collected specifically for bathing or in a nearby river. You'd do the same if you were in their position.
