Hello, I was recently diagnosed with HSV-2. I haven't come to terms with this label yet and after a night of crying my eyes out I decided to do something about it.
Let me start by saying this is no attempt to CURE HSV-2. My plan is to boost my immune system to the point where the IGG specific anitbodies no longer indicate HSV-2 in my body on paper.
I do realize that I will always carry these anti-bodies, but what makes this virus any different than a common cold or chicken pox? We carry these anti-bodies with us, but we aren't cosidered sick...right?!
My current level is 1.36. You have to be over. 90 to be considered positive. 5.0 is considered the cut off mark & indicates a high level of antibodies in the blood. Antibody levels are raised when the viral load has peaked, ususally when a person has an outbreak.
I have had ZERO outbreaks (knock on wood) & my antibody level is considerably low. So I've concluded that my viral count is low as well. My plan is to get re-tested after 3 months of immunity boosting therapy. If successful my IGG anitbody will be below. 90 and I will be HSV-2 free...technically.
After some research I came up with a list of anti-viral herbs & supplements as well as anti-oxidant rich foods to boost immunity.
Lysine
Zinc
Vitamin C
Lecithin
Echinacea
Lemon balm
Oil of Oregano
Andrographis
Red beans
Blueberries
Cranberries
Vitamin E
Vitamin A
None of these supplements can hurt you, they can only help boost your immunity. A stronger immune system can eliminate outbreaks!!! I refuse to run around with the label of having Herpes if there is nothing to show for it. I am also abstaining from sex. I am integrating oil pulling (sunflower oil) into my regimine. I will start after one month of boosting my immune system, only because I don't want to risk exacerbating symptoms that are currently suppressed.
I'll keep you updated on my progress & will also let you know if my antibody test comes back negative. Wish me luck!!!

As I promised here my result about the use of BHT to treat genital warts. I started more then one month ago and to my surprise the doctor when he checked my rectum said I only have a small wart!!! I'm sure it was huge before that and also some outside of my rectum. So the doctor take out the wart and I believe now I'm ok. I'm still taking the BHT, I don't have any kind of side effect so far. I will check again with the doctor, in a year to see if everything is still "clean".

Well thank you Teru from Paris for getting back to this forum. Your results with the use of BHT to treat gental warts agrees with that of fatcha brute`s as discussed here:
http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?p=6967512Â
So, here is another disease, caused by a lipid coated virus, that BHT has proven itself to be an effective treatment for. Like fatcha brute says: THIS STUFF REALLY DOES WORK. He is also one of the success stories of BHT as a treatment for hepatitis C. Thank you so very much for reporting back into THIS forum with your results Teru....Oscar

I am a young male and after discovering the genital warts I was desperate to get rid of them. I really wanted to avoid the doctor because I had read many reviews about the poor results with prescription creams, etc. I found ACV and gave it a try. At first, I just applied ACV soaked cotton balls and wrapped them in band-aids. Long story short, the band aids fell off halfway through the night and I never got the full effects of the ACV. I knew it was working because they hurt and turned white, but the ACV duration just was not long enough.
I upgraded to strong adhesive waterproof medical tape and instead of just ACV, I made a solution of ACV and added a few splashes of Tea Tree Oil. I soaked the cotton balls in the concoction, covered the several areas of warts and covered my penis with tape. I mean covered. The tape was not coming off this time (I did tape a little tighter near the head of my penis to avoid any irritation caused by excess fluid. ) I didn't sleep much that night. I have a high pain tolerance but that was some of the worst pain I have ever felt. I tossed and turned but I knew a few nights of suffering would be worth it. I woke up the next morning in pain and immediately tore off the bandages. The areas covered with cotton balls were greenish/bluish gray. I was quite nervous. I thought maybe I had wrapped it too tight and cut off some circulation or not allowed any air to penetrate. Needless to say I did more research online and didn't find anything strange. I kept going with the treatment. The next few nights I couldn't even keep the bandages on all night due to the pain, but I wore the ACV and tea tree oil mixture for several hours during the day. The whole time I made sure to keep the area clean and put neosporin on when not saturating with ACV and TTO. Within a week or so my skin was raw and hurt. I decided to stop treating the area, but continued wearing neosporin.
After the area healed some I treated again, but focued more on using tea tree oil. In fact, I rarely wore ACV again and found TTO to be generally more pleasant, although it still hurt.
I finally stopped all treatment after a little over a week of vigorous treatments and a lot of pain. The skin took over three weeks to heal back, but two months later I am completely wart free.
However, I must warn that I do have one small scar and a larger sized scar on the shaft of my penis. If you are going to do this treatment get some scar reducing cream right away and apply as soon as the wound has healed enough.
I pray the warts don't come back because this treament is PAINFUL. However, it was completely worth the pain for me.
I don't have a certain recipe for the TTO and ACV mixture nor a certain schedule I followed.
1) Start with the mix at night and wear for as long as possible
2) Let breathe during the whole day or do another round of treatment for a few hours
3) Make sure you are constantly keeping the area clean and use triple antibiotic cream (Neosporin)
4)Shift towards TTO once the skin is raw
5) Neosporin and scar gel
Good luck and stick with the treatment!
I also want to thank everyone for their input. This disease is embarrassing, but thanks to everyone that submitted their story, everyone can hopefully treat, if not cure themselves. Thanks to everyone and Earth Clinic

It's a good thing that you're not even considering doctors. I had a laser and even cut them off, the moment I thought I was healing they grew back. I'm not even going back or even asking my doctor for tips now, because I bought an expensive vaccination which did not work also.

I recently was diagnosed with GW as well. I went through a very traumatic experience november 2011 after leaving a very abusive relationship. My roomate I did not know was a three time felon and mental patient, kidnapped and raped me for months. I was able to escape the situation via a famiy member of his. It was likely from him I caught it which was even more damaging. That same month I noticed tiny bumps in my vaginal and anal area. Not thinking anything of it I ripped them off and noticed they were very wart-like. I was also having lots of smelly discharge. For a few weeks they did not return so I thought it was just a yeast infection. Yet I still wondered what those little skin bumps had been. At the time I knew nothing of HPV. I did hours and hours and days and days of research and I slowly began to accept that I might indeed have genital warts. I was devastated at the thought and went through minor panic and depressive episodes all last month.
I was almost completely convinced when about 3 weeks ago the warts returned in the same place. I knew then it must be GW and I must see a gyno immediately. After having much trouble with my insurance I finally saw a doctor that confirmed I had HPV. By then, I had emotionally prepared myself enough to take the news rather calmly. While there they froze off the most obvious ones. I took the pain like a champ! The nurse eased my thoughts a lot when she told me she has HPV as well. But it didn't end there. I began to freak out thinking I had other stds. So I jumped on the bandwagon of getting tested for EVERYTHING, including HIV. All were negative and I thought to myself if a few treatable warts is all I have to deal with, thank the lord!! It could be worse people!
The nurse told me give it two weeks and they would fall off. I thought, no way, they're going to be gone tomorrow!
I ran to this website and using my own pantry I began treatment:
Beggining two weeks ago, I made a paste of the ACV, vitamin E oil I use on my skin, and because I had no aspirin I used crushed vitamin c tablets. I rinsed the skin clean with water mixed wth ACV and then applied the paste in the morning and before going to bed. 2 days later what was supposed to take two weeks didn't! The warts fell off. For the next few days I noticed a few little ones sprouting up and became discouraged. I also noticed there were some at the entrance of my vagina and became even more disappointed. I remained positive and continued the external treatment. Making sure to wash my hands a gazillion times as if I was performing surgery. Do this to prevent spreading!
In one week I took care of all the outer ones. This past week I began applying the paste directly to the internal warts. A word of caution is only do this every two days or so because it nearly burned my skin bleeding raw. In between days I used coconut oil to help the skin heal. The warts are almost all gone. Probably another week and I'll be back to brand new.
Knowledge is power and in total it will take me less than a month to go from diagnosis to wart freedom.
Also from day one of diagnosis I started taking a whole food multivitamin, Omega 3, two 500 mg vitamin C tablets, 1500 mg Garlic pills, an Elderberry, Echinecea and Green Tea extract blend daily, Olive Leaf extract daily, and a few drops of colloidal silver daily. I also drink a cup of green tea nightly before bed and eat very healthy. I also began a monthly douching regimen of ACV, water, and a few bags of green tea thrown in the tub water. I also plan on going to see a homeopath doctor soon and get even more remedies.
I also would like to add some facts I learned of HPV (genital wart strain):
Condoms do not protect you from it, as it is transmitted through skin contact and from just about anything, including sharing towels. It is EXTREMELY common. 80% of people have some strain the HPV virus, just like herpes 1. 3 out of 4 sexually active individuals will have HPV at some point. And around 15-20% are carrying it now (likely do not know it). There is no test for men, and men often show no symptoms so they are silent carriers (dont mean to scare, but yeah). Unless you are vacinated, HPV is virtually unpreventable so don't think you are the only unlucky one! :p
Lessons learned from my diagnosis:
-Get tested for stds regularly! Have all your partners tested before you do anything!
-It could be worse and you should be grateful! Use this experience as a chance to realize our health is not expendable!
-You are not alone! And don't be afraid to tell people! I found out in my own circle of friends there are two with HPV!
-I felt joy because now I have become closer to God and thank him everyday that he made me see how important I am to myself! I have developed more drive in life.
-And if you still feel low about your diagnosis, turn on the news! Murders, major diseases, wars. And you worry about a wart? :p
And finally, those of you that are here just like I was thinking you MIGHT have this, please go to the doctor. It will not do you any good to be in denial. In the case that you have it, Just get the results, get the facts, and get to work!
God bless!!

You don't have to go through all those painful treatments. I've been there done that. It's as simple as drinking 3 or 4 cups of green tea a day and they will disappear in about 3 month totally. The FDA even approved a topical treatment made out of green tea extract. So the secret is drink green tea every day for at least 3 months or more. I'm sure you have green tea available in your country. Love .and take care

Hi I've had gw now for over 2 years with frequent outbreaks. I'm 20 and I've been to the doctors and to clinics and asked for pap smears because I have hpv but they always say that it's ok and that I dont need to have a pap until I'm 25, should I be having regular paps? Also does anyone get abnormal discharge when warts appear I'm having quite a bad outbreak and I'm having so much discharge that I need to wear a panty liner also it's quite yellow but with no odor. But I have been applying castor oil to calm them down and sometimes tincture of thuja. Could this have caused thrush maybe? Is that what could cause the discharge? I never knew that you needed to take vitamins and such to boost your immunity so I will start today. When I have been to the doctors they don't seem to know much about hpv and just give me more warticon each time (which I have a bad reaction to). Anyway I am very grateful for this site and have read alot and will start to take folic acid and vitamins. Thank you

Does anyone have experience trying to use apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar) with a case of warts as massive as the following? I am scheduled for surgery in 14 days, but the warts are growing so fast right now that in 7 days they have gone from being an invisible cauliflower-like mass inside the anus to a cookie-sized mass jutting outside of the rectum, stuck between the utt checks visibly and threatening to keep growing beyond the confines of the cheeks next. My surgeon and doctor have refused to shrink the mass in between my colonoscopy (which fortunately showed no cancer inside anywhere) and the surgery in two weeks, and said it's too large for topical medicines, etc. I was only diagnosed in August, immediately scheduled the earliest possible laser treatment, and have been unable to get laser treatments more frequently than two weeks apart, which has proved to be enough time for the wart mass to regain all of the size it lost from
Laser treatment 14 days prior. That's why they recommended the surgery (which from what I read online could have an INTENSELY painful "recovery" period afterwards and that the warts will likely return, though treatments thereafter may be easier as they'll be smaller. I am petrified of this period if I can't get maintenance/treatments more frequently than two weeks or more apart while they speed-expand (assuming that continues post-surgery. ). I tried the vinegar last night just with the hope of keeping them from becoming a tail outside my butt. So far it's not clear to me anything has happened but it's very hard to see back there. Looks like the tip may be a little white, and I'm not even sure the mass hasn't grown again since last night. Hard to say. My doctor has recently seen cases even worse than mine--the day before laddering mine she had treated someone with a mass that extended all the way to the testacles, and she was unshackled an unperturbed by the size when she first saw me in August. (She works in a clinic that sees a lot of rectal and hpv-related conditions, though the focus is on HIV there and I am negative for HIV, am otherwise very healthy, got the warts from a long term monogamous partner who I'm no longer with for three years. ) Should I keep up with the burn of the vinegar or follow my doctors advice and let it become a painful bloody life threatening tail before a surgery that could produce months of even greater pain at least while passing bm? Who has treated internal masses this way? Anyone?

I was told that I had hpv a few years back and my doctor said I was lucky that I caught it early and that all I need to do was take a muti-vitamin. I didn't get the warts or anything but my advice is if you are active even if it's your husband or wife stay getting checked.

I know how to deal with the warts. First, start taking a good natural Ester C, at least 500 to 1,000mg, twice a day, or morning and night. Do not skip a dose. As I learned a few years ago from a program for natural health which hosted a real physician who knows about the vitamin, most people with health problems are not getting enough of it every day. Taking C, especially if you are consuming foods that are acidic, such as tomatoes and oranges or soda pops and fruit juices, will be far too acidic for the stomach and is why it is absolutely necessary to ingest the vitamin in non-acidic form. It does cost a little more but it is well worth the money and freedom from waking up in the middle of the night with an acidy substance in your throat and mouth.
To use apple cider vinegar, all one needs do is to apply a cider vinegar-moistened piece of cotton to the wart, around the clock, until the bump is gone. A light application of petroleum jelly on the non-wart afflicted skin will help to keep everything but the wart from the harsh effects of the cider vinegar. If the vinegar fails, Homeopathic remedies may provide an answer. Seeking the assistance of a good and qualified Naturopath may bring about excellent results although several visits may be necessary to achieve the desired results. They and Homeopaths generally consult a book known as the Materia Medica and although it is correct about which remedies should be given, sometimes trying out a few additional remedies is required before the exact and correct one is located, or found. I possess such a book and must say that it is a true blessing to have at my disposal. Cider vinegar is much less painful than freezing but only up to a point where the initial thick covering of the wart has been destroyed whereas gritting one's teeth and bearing the pain are the only ways to get through the final stages of the wart's death and detachment from its blood supply and the skin's nerves. At that moment, with continued treatment, the pest should be considered on its way out. Along with Ester C, taking a normal dose of potassium, folic acid and iron might also be helpful. Or, one to two teaspoons of Unsulphured Blackstrap Molasses can be taken, every day. Sanitize the hands and the toilet seat with a cheap brand of moist hand sanitizing towelettes, and also clean the faucet's handles, after every use.
For men, if they stand to urinate, their urine splashes out of the toilet and onto the floor so the floor should be sprayed with a solution of diluted Pine Sol (50% regular Pine Sol/50% water) and dried with a towel every time they make a "pit stop. " Never use household cleaners anywhere on or in the body as they are dangerous due to their ability to poison it and they are not known to annihilate warts. Please, do not become so desperate to get rid of them that using anything will do as there are better and safer ways of dealing with them.
Tea Tree oil is another remedy which is pretty safe to use on the exterior genitals and also in diluted form. Dilution of the oil can be done by filling a douche bottle with warm water and adding three or four drops of Tea Tree oil. As a word of caution, never scrape, file or scratch a wart as it might start to bleed or, because it could be sensitive to cider vinegar or another natural remedy, treatment may have to be put off for a while. And, the possibility that virus will spread further and cover more skin mass will be greatly increased. Finally, persistence and round-the-clock treatment is the way to go when dealing with genital warts because every second that they are left untreated means they are on vacation and free to do just what they want to which is to suck your lifeforce out of you, grow, multiply and LIVE!!

I have used PawPaw ointment (papaya) on herpes outbreak and it clears up extremally quickly, apply as soon as you feel a tingle and conginue applying. My partner also has herpes and swears by it too. Eating fresh papaya has amazing healing properties too.
Have you heard of MMS? Google it, its supposed to clear up herpes!
Im currently using it for a Blastocystis outbreak (parasite) so hopefully two birds with one stone!
good luck!

Be very careful: I was accidentally given the wrong wart treatment by my pharmacist. I applied it as the instructions said and what I experienced over the next 10 day's was by far, the worst pain I have ever felt (and I've had a broken jaw, nose, arms, exploded appendix, a nasty paracite from africa etc). What they gave me was for plantar warts (feet) and not anal warts, which should have been Wartec Solution. It burnt my skin and I couldn't walk, sleep or move without severe pain.
My chin is up now after taking alot of pain killers and a great antiseptic cream and I'm about to use the wartec solution, the right one. I have also upped my vitamins and eating alot of my vegies too!!!!
This virus has really affected me and I hope I can get rid of it/the little buggers around my anus. It's not the easiest thing to talk about with people too, which has also been dificult to deal with BUT there are far less fortunate people out there and we are lucky that there are treatments!!!
Goodluck everyone, and just be very careful what you put down there!!!!!

Hello all, I have GW, however I only seem to have the one big one on the shaft of my penis, I'm not sure how I actually got mine but I have them. I have been reading all this and I thought I would pipe up and document my saga.
When I was sixteen I got my first wart, it was on my right thumb, my mum bought me some OTC liquid that over a period of 4 weeks removed it and in 15 years has never returned and never spread.
Ok I have used neat tea tree oil in the past to remove a very small wart that was growing on my right cheek bone under my eye but didn't think it would work for GW. I would use a cotton bud soaked in tea tree and press it on the wart daily after a shower, I got a little dry skin but eventually after a couple of weeks it had completely gone and thus far hasn't returned, that was over a year ago now. I tried this because a childhood friends mother used it for herpes simplex and used to rave about it "working wonders on skin" They had brought it back from Australia.
I decided last Thursday night to have a go with this one big one I have. I showered in the evening and applied some tea tree to the area around the wart and directly on top of it. I then soaked a cotton ball the size of the wart in tea tree oil 100% and placed it on top of it, held in place with surgical tape and went to bed as usual. In the morning when I removed the bandage I was surprised to see that it had almost gone completely black, all except the side that was raised the highest. It also seemed as if one side had been flattened. This was crazy. I didn't think it worked like ACV? Anyway I repeated this the second night to get the remaining part hit and hopefully speed up the process. I was amazed when it had actually worked, all of it was black.
It was then I thought why is it turning black? So I googled it, that's when I found this site. Awesome site. I learned about ACV, I learned about hydrogen peroxide and that this is way more common than I believed. Since reading this site I have, ordered vitamins and ACV and purchased some hydrogen peroxide 6%.
I have done two more treatments of tea tree to the black and now hard wart, which has done more damage to the surrounding tissue than it did to the wart, that's what it felt like anyway, I also learned that one this site, only a little too late. I have given it two days rest and used antibiotic healing creme on the damaged healthy skin. Looking a lot better today.
So, 1 week on and the black scab has come off the wart, I rinsed it with H2O2 and it bubbled, however it hasn't all been removed, half of it still remains raised and bumpy. So to protect the area around it I have covered it in sudo healing crem and continued the treatment, I have also replaced this before going to bed.
Once the ACV arrives I will test other areas to see if I have any that I'm not aware of and get rid of them. I will report back with results.

Ok it's been 5 days since my last post, the damaged healthy skin is still scabbed and fairly tender. I had some yellowish clear liquid discharge from aroun the area, think this maybe due to the hydrogen peroxide which seamed to leave a chemical burn on me. Stopped applying anything except healing/wound cream. The ACV turned up and I have done one treatment on Friday and another treatment today, using a cotton wool bud to apply the ACV. The scab that had formed from Fridays treatment fell off today whilst applying the ACV. It is now much smaller and what's left of it is now white. I'm still in a mess, but it's getting better by the day. Very itchy though. I hope this doesn't take much longer, cuz this isn't nice.

I first found a lump on my vagina (on one of the lips) about 4 months ago, I didn't really think anything of it. I was sleeping with only my boyfriend at the time, I'd not had any sexual partners for almost a year prior to sleeping with him. I didn't know a lot about hpv, I didn't know it could lay dormant for years or anything. After the 'ingrown hair' didn't go away, I got a mirror and had a look down there. It didn't look too bad, just a fleshy lump. I was really worried and searched online for pictures and cures. I then dismissed it again, thinking this didn't look like the pictures. A couple months later I found another one next to it, and noticed I have a few around my anus and inbetween my vagina and anus. I broke up with my boyfriend because I couldn't stand to tell him. I didn't know if he had gave it to me, or I already had it. We work together and I didn't want it getting around work. I have not told anyone. I was all geared up to go to the doctors but backed out. I came across this site and I've read a lot of the posts on here about ACV. I was terrified to try it because of the complaints of stinging, so decided to take ACV pills, vit c pills, garlic and a multi vit to see if it would help clear anything up. No changes.
So a month or so later, here I am. I haven't noticed any change at all in these warts. Today, out of desperation, I finally decided to go for it. I got some AVC, a tip from a q-tip, socked it in ACV and plastered it to the warts on my lips. I was surprised that I didn't feel any stinging. I kept it on for two hours, thinking it wasn't going to make any difference. When I took it off, it was white and looked a lot larger than I orignally thought.
I decided to put more on, and also on my anus. I am not going to sleep with it on because I don't want to cause too much irritation to the skin. I will do about 3 2-hour treatments a day and see what happens.
I really hope this clears up, I will update soon.

★★★☆☆BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
Hello everyone. I contracted GW from my X boyfriend and they scared the life out of me, but not all hope is lost. ACV on its own does help alot, most of my warts fell off, but now, there seems to be more, little ones though and one big one. I recently started the paste method (aspirin, vitamin e & ACV). It stings like a bee sting btwn my butt cheeks. The big one has been discharging a yellow liquid, and bleeding, is this normal at all?

Thanks for sharing your story. My experience is similar, I haven't been sexually active in nearly three years. My last partner I found near the separation was quite promiscuous. This left me with severe trust issues. I was told about 6 months ago that I had genital warts, horrified beyond belief. The worse part is not knowing where I got it.
I have tried the apple cider vinegar, and it really worked, but unfortunately a few months later they started to to come back. please let me know how the pills are helping the out break, or how to control them. Thanks a lot

When I first reached down and felt bumps around the opening to my anus and lower part of my vagina close to my anus I was mortified! I got a mirror and began inspecting these bumps! They were nothing like I had ever seen before. I was always in a monogamous 7 year relationship that recently ended. I had unprotected sex with 2 guys.
Back to the bumps... I began researching genital warts on the internet and looking at pictures of them. Many of the pictures I looked nothing like what I had going on. I thought maybe I was chaffed or irritated from my thong underwear. I work as a waitress and wear thong underwear and polyester pants. Not much air circulates. The bumps started to go away on their own.... But in a week came back ten times worse than before. I came online desperately searching for some type of relief. I have no health coverage and was completely humiliated, disgusted and scared. Lucky to have an extremely close relationship with my sister-in-law I had her look at them. She confirmed that they looked just like cauliflower shaped bumps protruding from my skin. I wanted to cry and scream.
I came across the posts on this site written by people who used ACV. I went to the grocery store immediately and started treatment. I would soak rolled gauze in the ACV and wedge it between the folds in my vagina where I found the warts and my anus. I slept with it on 5 nights in a row. The entire area turned white and was extremely sore... I mean it hurt like HELL! I was in tears.
I started researching again and went to the pharmacy. I purchased bleach, tea tree oil, vitamin E liqui-capsules and vitamin C with Rose Hips (because I learned this is an immune system thing). I started taking the vitamin C orally every 8 hours 2 days ago. The tea tree oil acts as a natural anti fungal, anti-inflammatory and astringent. Trust me this felt like a complete relief compared to the ACV. Here's what I did: Soaked Q-tips in bleach and placed it over the larger warts for about 1 minute. I wiped it with a baby wipe and put tea tree oil on my finger (wearing gloves). I rubbed in circles about 20 times or so. I then snipped the end of a vitamin E capsule and rubbed that all over. Later that night I did the same procedure with the rolled gauze but soaked it in tea tree oil. This also burned but I endured it because I want these gone! The following day I had to work so I just rubbed a little tea tree oil and vitamin E on the spot. When I got home I looked in the mirror and realized my skin was coming off. It looked burned and there was fresh pink skin underneath. I decided to give my skin a rest and just use the vitamin E that night and a diaper rash cream. So I woke up this morning and the larger more stubborn warts almost disappeared.
I have been repeating the same bleach, oil, vitamin, ACV procedure every 3 hours or so. I wash the area with a feminine sensitive skin wash, blow dry it with a blow dryer and do the steps. I am so happy with the results as I am taking a vacation in 1 week and want to be rid of this headache before that. I have been using the ACV for about 10 days and the other treatments for 3. The only difference is that my warts never turned black only white. I could feel them coming off in the shower. It's important you stay clean, keep the area dry, wear cotton panties and have persistence. You can beat this. I was so heartbroken when I discovered this and now am overjoyed to know there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm happy that your method is working for you. Are you using laundry bleach? will you please update on your progress... Most people do not follow up over the next few months. It is important that people who are going through the same thing and are seeking answers know what has worked for other people. Thank you and good luck

★☆☆☆☆WARNING!
I am leaving a note because I am concerned that other women will read this and try it out with the exact same steps. I urge everyone to think of apple cider vinegar like the 5% acid it is.
A more cautious approach: I strongly advise trying one small area (size of a pea) for 30 minutes or less 1 day. Giving it a break. Examine the damage. If your are comfortable try that 2x day the next day and try a couple other spots. These treatments are cumulative and you can suddenly have a few layers of skin come off with one short treatment. Once you see how you react, then decide. I strongly advise against covering a large area of inner labia tissues with vinegar for long stretches on the softer genital tissues. Over night is out of the question in my opinion - especially on the delicate tissues of the internal parts.
Infection can happen. Remember, this area can get very raw if you are covering a large surface. There are specific anti-biotics that might be prescribed. It's a catch 22. Might kill the wart, but put yourself at risk of infection. Putting anti-bacterial oitment inside the inner folds of your vaginal area (labia minora and labia majora) as someone else recommended might guide you right into a yeast infection. Scatching might spread your warts. If a yeast infection does happen because of this process, FeminaFlora (product by New Roots) herbal supplement - no personal affiliation at all (about $20-$25 for 10 capsules to be inserted in the vaginal opening) is really a product that should be more well known.
http://www.arhp.org/publications-and-resources/quick-reference-guide-for-clinicians/managing-hpv/Counseling
It's not the end of the world, even if it feels like it. Killing the wart is one thing, but getting the virus into submission is how you are going to get the results you want. Eat natural things, curb your sugars (including white pasta, rice, patatoes), sleep well, drop the cigarettes/alcohol/chemical street drugs). Suppressing a virus is a good trade off for vices that are harsh on the body. Good luck all!

Terry, the Doc said no cure, you also said the virus lays dormant, I suppose you so shocked big boy and his little friends they ducked the onslaught of Palm of Christ, The virus is systemic, meaning it is in your blood, cells etc! I think you have carpet bombed Dresden and all life has gone underground to re coupe. I had vernal warts for 30 years, used ever conceivable thing on the market had them frozen, lasered. I have no more virus in my body and the cure was a by-product of curing another virus..HEP C.... BHT I found on the net from Oscar used it and bingo.
ACV, Vit E, Oregano, Olive Leaf and Tea Tree Oils
Posted by Ashley (Minneapolis, Mn, Usa) on 03/04/2010
I found out I have HPV genital warts last monday. It freaked me out so much because I've only been with 3 people in my life, but unfortunately was stupid enough to not use protection. ANYways, my doctor used acid on the warts the same day she diagnosed them, which burned like heck. The next few days I saw the warts slough off a lot.
I came across this website when I was looking for a more natural cure, and I'm soo happy I found it.
(Unfortunately my boyfriend now has the HPV too, I feel so awful about giving him this virus, and he's getting warts too)
So yesterday I made a trip to the natural foods co-op and stocked up on all the things I've seen mentioned here. Apple cider vinegar, Vitamin E Oil, Oil of Oregano, Olive Leaf extract, and Tea tree oil.
Last night me and my boyfriend did our first treatment. I mixed about 3/4 cup of ACV, 1/2 cup Vitamin E oil, 10 drops Oil of Oregano, and 5 drops Olive leaf extract. I soaked some gauze pads in the mixture, and then wrung them out, and rolled them up and put them slightly inside my vagina. (I have warts just inside and just outside my vaginal opening).
I put on a pad on my underwear and WOW at first it burned pretty intensely. After about 10 minutes, the pain did lessen, and I kept the gauze on for about 50 minutes.
My boyfriend, we did the same thing, soaked the gauze in the mixture, except we had issues getting it positioned on him. We used hair binders to hold it onto his penis, but there were warts around the base we couldnt very well keep the gauze on. (any hints for how to best use the mixture on the penis would be greatly appreciated)
Anyways, after I took mine out/off, the whole area of my vaginal opening and everything was realllly white. It kinda freaked me out to see it.
My boyfriend's penis had some white spots too, but nothing as much as mine. Overall he said it burned too, but we both sucked it up, and I'm super excited to see what happens in the next week with this treatment.
OH and afterwards we put Vitamin E Oil with a drop of Tea Tree oil on the affected areas, it was so soothing and felt super good afterwards.
I will keep you updated on how things go as time progresses. Tonight we are doing treatment #2 !
ACV, Vit E, Oregano, Olive Leaf and Tea Tree Oils
Posted by Ashley (Minneapolis, Mn, Usa) on 03/05/2010
Last night we did treatment #2, with the same mixture. Mine burned a LOT for the first 10 minutes, but then the burning went away. I left it on for an hour or so. I was kind of disappointed because when I checked it out after, the warts were all white, but I wasnt seeing the gray/black that some people report seeing. I'm thinking about doing full-on ACV tonight to really hit them hard. But I don't know if that will just end up hurting my skin.
My boyfriend used toilet paper doused in the mixture, which worked better because it stuck to him very easily. He said it was burning a lot and pretty painful. He left his on for a good 40 minutes.
Afterwards we used the Vitamin E oil and tea tree oil mixture (just a drop or two of tea tree though) and it makes it feel very relieved and cool, after the burning of the ACV treatment.
I'm wondering if mixing the ACV with Vitamin E oil is something we shouldn't be doing, if the Vitamin E cancels out the ACV's effectiveness in some way? I know thats probably impossible, but I just want to be sure I'm hitting those nasty warts as hard as possible to get them OFF me and my man.
Update again after tonight's treatment! :-) Wishing good health to you all!

I noticed your post and it is from quite some time ago. So, I doubt I will see a response from you. But I am curious how this ever ended. This is one of the treatments I was looking at also. My ex-husband swore by Vit E for warts he had on his hands as a teenager; which I realize are quite different than the GW....I had my GW frozen on this past Friday and they are quite white and sore. So, I bought Vit E today and put it on it. I can't believe how soothing it was! And if it works at all like it did for my ex husband, I will be a happy camper!

HPV is a silent menace that can affect anyone of us if we aren't careful. I should know because I was infected with genital warts a few years back. It was too late, a vaccine could have protected me or I could have been more careful with my sexual health.
But the damage had been done. Little did I know that I was going to discover OxyFend- a topical treatment for genital warts. Soon after using it regularly my genital warts cleared.
I feel like I was given a second chance with that HPV scare. Today, proud to say I am more responsible and I have no plans of wandering off another path anytime soon.

The immune system IS a big factor in treating these. That is why being immune comprimised in any way can cause an outbreak of warts. I didn't know this until a wart appeared while I was pregnant and I did some research.

Okay, since it's been awhile since someone did a day-by-day breakdown of their self-treatment, I thought I'd do one.
The symptoms: Genitals warts on the shaft and underside of my scrotum.
Previous treatment: I did Aldara for a few months with zero success. Oh, but I lost a lot of money doing it, so I have that going for me.
Day 1: I used straight-up ACV on a cotton ball on my shaft, and used medical tape to secure it on the wart "garden". Lots of burning followed, but it subsided eventually while I slept. More little warts appeared.
Day 2: Reapplied ACV on a cotton ball on the shaft. More burning, more dealing with it. Applied on my scrotum this time. Removing the tape is more painful than the burning, actually.
Day 3: Removed the tape after the second night and had a lot of blackened warts. Lots of sensitive skin, too. Decided to give the shaft the day off and focused on my scrotum. Hard to tape there, but I got it on. No real change there yet.
Day 4: Shaft is still very sore, so I've moved onto the ACV-asprin-Vitamin E mixture. Didn't feel any burning on my shaft, but some on my scrotum. Will sleep with this applied and see how it is in the morning.

Endure the pain it works... I used just ACV on cloth or gauze wrapped around the shaft. It burned a little but holy shxt a day later the bumps turned black and one little group of 3 just fell off while I was checking progress. I will say I think I have a high tolerance for pain so I see why others say its too painful. On the 2nd night of treatment I cut a washclothe abouth the size of the entire region and soaked it in a cup full of ACV. I placed it over my entire groin area and put a plastic bag on top to keep my undies dry and bed. I laid face down to put pressure on the area and tried to goto sleep. It hurt like hell for about 10 minutes but i stayed the course and fell asleep after the burn diminished. I had/have about 10 warts, all have a black top now and like I said 1 little group already fell off leaving no trace . Thanks to this forum. BTW I used Whitehouse ACV I got at Wallyworld. less than 2.00$

Thank you for the advice. I decided to cut a towel in a square and wrap it around my shaft. I just started the treatment today and it burns like hell but way worth it. I tried other things in the past and nothing worked, it actually got worse. I bought this stuff called BioT. Well not only was it very painful but the bumps spread worse than ever. I have been devistated! I really hope this ACV works! I will keep you all updated. Thank you again for the advice!!

Ok so it is day 3. I have not yet got the results that I have seen from other people. Everything looks exactly the same except for the redness. Some parts it looks like I have been burnt. Am I doing something wrong? It is quite painful but I figure it is supposed to be. Anybody else have results like this? I am just going to continue with this treatment. Any advice would be great.

Actually there is a cure go to PubMed dot gov and type in "aloe vera propolis" without the quotes. That is the results of the study. HPV was not present after this. It is interferon injections, which you can have your doctor prescribe to you, with aloe vera propolis and B-complex. With out the aloe vera and B-complex the cure isn't as affective. A brand of interferon for HPV use is called Alferon. There is also a therapeutic vaccine developed by ISA pharmaceuticals which is not as effective but draws off the "linked simple sugars" concept. It is called synthetic long peptide (SLP). SLP is kind of like the polysaccharides found in aloe vera except they are synthetic instead of natural. Everybody go get cured so we can live in an HPV-free world.

how to speed up the process
when you apply ACV on the skin make sure to apply pressure by pinching the skin. This cuts the blood flow and helps the vinegar penetrate. I have seen the area turn purple after 5 to 10 minutes. You do not have to keep the soaked pad on the skin all day by doing the pressure on the skin will cut the process in a matter of minutes and the next day you will notice a scab on the area. Restricting the blood flow while helping the vinegar penetrate allows the skin heal faster. I read about the laser treatment and one of the things the laser does is to cut blood flow to the sick area and also, claims to kill the virus.

This is really starting to get to me. I am writing this as I sit here on the bathroom floor, vagina on fire and the smell of vinegar and tea tree oil smothering me.. Something I have strangely gotten used to. I am so sick to death of this. It's all I have been able to think about for the last 2 weeks. They seem to be getting better but I just don't know. I have one big one on the lips of my hooha which when I used the prescribed medication seemed to go pus-like and disgusting which made it spread to the other side GREAT! There are a whole army of little red dots and I just want them to f off! I am at the end of my patience. I am running out of options. I can't keep this up. How the hell are 80% of the population affected by this virus, it's not fair. Sorry, this stinging makes me angry. Love to my wart friends :(

I am not sure of any suitable natural remedies for genital warts, but I do know from personal experience that you must take care of them immediately. I was treated with a product called podophyllin. You can actually find the product on line or something similar called podophyllum. Both originate from the same resin. Podophyllin has been the treatment of choice since the 40's. Today they may laser them off. However, time truly is of the essence here. Hopefully you can find it on line OR get to a Dr. that can administer it.
Best of luck to you.

It has been a few weeks since my last post. I am happy to say I have no more bumps at all! However, when I did go to visit my OB GYN, she said that they were most likely not warts. But she couldn't see anything by the time I got checked out. My logic was since I had HPV, they were most likely warts (I am an RN and have a bad habit of self-diagnosing). Who knows?
I am keeping up with my supplements and have not been douching. If I have time to do just one thing every morning, I make sure to drink my ACV. I wish all of you the best of luck!

I tested positive for hpv with my first abnormal pap when I was 16 years old. I went in because of a nasty blister looking wart. After 3 days of treatment from some online medicine that I can't remember the name of I was wart free and normal pap's for 3 years. When I was 19, I went to the dr and had another abnormal pap and one skin tag wart, which I was treated for via acid which left a scar. A year later I got two more skin tags and was treated with acid and left with scars again however this time I had a normal pap. I am now 24 and haven't been sexually active in 3 years but got the flu and was sick for a week which I believe brought my immune system down. After that I started eating better and exercising and I got 3 skin tags, but with a normal pap. I was treated first with the 3 week treatment of aldara, I followed directions and nothing happened. Then I was prescribed condoylox for a month which didn't have an effect either. Mind you the cost of these meds as well as the dr visits added to over 500 bucks. After a ton of online research I decided to try the acv treatment of the soaked cottonballs taped overnight. Of course it burned but after 4 days the skin tags turned black and were gone. Immediately after they left I believe the use of acv triggered about 25 small flat warts which I have never had before. I tried the online warts no more treatment dabbing it on the wart for 2 weeks with no results. Then I got desperate and tried rubbing the warts 2x daily with a q-tip soaked in bleach for 2 weeks and got no results. After that I tried 2 weeks of acv treatment overnight which hasn't fixed the flat warts at all. I tried rubbing tea tree oil as well as vitamin e oil on the warts. Nothing. I have been taking apple cider vinegar tablets as well as a multivitamin, folic acid and various other vitamins that claim to help with no results. I really don't want to have anymore scarring but I am very tempted to get the laser treatment because I am coming on month 7 of constantly trying out some new "cure" and as a result getting more- I am sick of this awful problem and doctors who don't seem to care. Life is stressful enough without having to deal with this, and not being able to date is mentally straining... banana peels and duct tape didn't work either. Any suggestions? Anyone had the surgery and zero scarring?

I was very upset to hear that i hap HPV Genital Warts. i had been with the same man for 6 years last Aug 08. He was cheating and I left him last june 08, but not before he left me with a gift. i had only been with 1 person before him and that wasn't many times. Anyway I was upset to hear that there is no cure. I found 1 bump down there this last Feb 09. When I got the second within a week I knew something wasnt right. The Dr told there really wasnt anything that she could do. Sent me home with nothing but a photo copy of some info on HPV and genital warts. I ended up getting a few more bumps . Then a few more afte that some outbreak I was devasted , so I decided to start researching on the internet. I came across lots of information on home remedies and I put together my own "treatment". And it does work For those who are patient and persistent. I read alot of stories of people and how they irritaded there skin with there " treatments". i am a very busy person, I work 7 days a week, so I needed to be comfortable. First i will list the oils, soaps and vitamins that I have been using, including the ACV. Fist off, I enjoy eating Salads and my favorite thing is Olive oil and vinegar on my salad. I have made it a part of my treatment to have a salad every day with OV & apple cider vinegar. Now to the other stuff. I Started taking vitamins, I take a womens 1 a day type, I take elderberry extract in pill form 400mg 1 a day, I take a garlic oderless extract in pill form 1000mg 1 a day, Antioxidant formula with minerals first 2 weeks everyday then I started taking it 3 times a week. For the first 3 weeks I also took Golden seal & echinacea complex in pill form. BUT YOU CAN NOT TAKE IT FOR MORE THAN 8 WEEKS STRAIGHT IT CAN CAUSE LIVER DAMAGE. So I waited 5 weeks and then took it again for 2 weeks then stopped and plan on doing the same in about another 6 weeks. Will take for 2 weeks again.I also used tea tree oil for the first few weeks because I had started other symptoms associated with it irritated and itchy. I also used the tea tree oil mixed with vitamin e wenever I shaved the area. I found a tea tree oil soap and since I bought it back in the beggining of March I have used it to clean that area, and plan on using the soap for a while longer. The ones that I had were slowwlllllyyy dissapearing. i was fustrated. I decided to research more and came across castor oil, decided to try it. It has been about 3 weeks that i started rubbing it with a q-tip on the area and everything is all gone. No pain or irritated skin. This is for the persistent patient person or *Chicken's* like me. :) Well I hope that this helps everyone. My interest is getting ride of the virus above everything. I dont want another outbreak. My question to anyone is, What has been the results for people who have tried these treatments how long has it been since an outbreak or a positive test? I also read about Job's tears it is a barley. Some people think that it helps kill the virus. That is what i will be working on getting my hands on within the next few weeks and add it to my treatment for a while in hopes of killing that damn nast virus. Good luck to all and I really hope the info helps.
Malt Vinegar

Well, I noticed a small flat lump under my foreskin about 3 weeks ago. I thought it was a scar or something from some vigorus love makeing, so paid it no mind. Then a week an half ago I noticed more of them. Thats when I started to worry so started doing internet search and came upon GW. So did vinagar test and they turned white and lots of white appeared under the foreskin, I then found this site and stared te ACV treatment, well I couldnt find any ACV so using malt vinagar 5% which I'm sure should do the same. Anyway Ive been applying it pretty solidly for about 5 days feeling alot of sting. They got really white but still not much of a change except on some a kind of greying. Looking at all these posts everyone seems to have them go in like 3 days or less.
Has anyone else had to wait longer for result? Im very desprate to get rid of them since I have a girlfriend that Ive had unprotected sex with, and dont want her to get it to. I know I have to tell her so working up the courage.
I am a heavy smoker and like a beer or two, do you think this might be why Im havin not very good results? Im really happy to see so many people getting sucsess.

yes its can take a while try soaking a cotton ball in vinegar, taping it on and putting a condom on it over night to make sure it stays ( rubber band the condom at the base.if your girl doesnt have it she can try taking elderberry to prevent it or Job's tears ( an asian barly) to get rid of it Jobs tears have also been hypothesized to be the actual and permanent cure to hpv. there is more money in a treatment than a cure remember thiswhen u goto the doctor. there are at least 30 diff types of HPV warts so not all cures work the same. and you may have more than one type as they are the most common of all stds.

My journey to rid myself of GW: Tonight begins my hope for relief. About a moth ago, I felt a strange growth on my anus as I was finishing in the bathroom. I figured it was a skin tag, and decided to forget about it. Over the last few weeks, I'd began to notice more and more, until about a dozen or so of these things were surrounding my anus and speading along my perinium. Last night I finally got up the courage to examine them. I put the mirror down there and HOLY HELL WHAT THE @#+$ IS THAT??? Immediately I jumped online and searched. It finally all added up. I was diagnosed with HPV 3 years ago while pregnant with my son, but the doc said I didn't have a strain that would cause GW. Guess she was wrong. I'm thiinking it got into the anal region when my ex husband decided to spice up our sex life with anal sex, causing fissures and bleeding. I thought, these disgusting little buggers have GOT TO GO! I found this site and, thank the heavens, I'm beginning a compress of ACW, crushed garlic, and a splash of HP at bedtime. I've also started eating a garlic clove or two a day, along with echinaecea. I have high hopes from all the yeas on this site, and I have been a believer in natural healing for years. Update tomorrow... wish me luck!

I would like to say that Genital Warts CAN spread to different parts of the body. I know this comment was left a few years ago, and a lot of new research has been done. People are also sharing their experiences more and more. 15 years ago I was diagnosed with high risk HPV, and surgically had it removed. Then, about 2 years ago during a 3 year period of not being sexually active I got low level HPV, genital warts. After having them removed and using a lot of natural remedies I am feeling much better. However, I have recently been now diagnosed with HPV in my throat, caused through oral skin to skin contact; Oral Sexual Intercourse. They said it would be best to test it after it is removed to know which strand it it. Considering it is a Virus that can be dormant in your system, I think it is important to be aware that you CAN contract HPV in your throat, and often it attatches itself to your vocal chords. It is becoming a lot more common, and there is a lot of conflicting evidence out there. Even if it was dormant, it was spread through genital to mouth contact. Understand that HPV is still very abiguous, and sharing our personal experiences and remedies is most important. Be safe and aware of your bodies, and do not dismiss anything because we are afraid to talk about it. Thank you so much for this site. I am going to post an update and see what works best for my throat problem so that I don't have to get surgery!

Hey guys, awesome advice with the ACV! Just a quick question..... Some background first: I noticed I had a growth on my shaft a few months ago and didn't think much of it. Finally, after realizing it wasn't going away or improving at all on its own, I turned to the Internet and came across this forum. I decided to try the Apple Cider Vinegar method before going buying any of the other treatments. I dabbed the wart with Apple Cider Vinegar using a qtip, then took an Apple Cider Vinegar soaked cottonball and put it on the wart and put a bandaid around it and left it on overnight. It turned white after the first application and after about 3 days, as I was dabbing the area with the qtip, the top layer of the wart came off with ease and another layer came off the next day.
It's been about a week now and I'm still doing the same treatment and the area is generally flat now (opposed to the raised wart). However, now there is a white ring around the outside of the area where the raised section was and where the layers peeled off, it is all dark yellow with a black spot in the middle and starting to turn black around the inner part of the white ring. I haven't scene much info on the warts turning yellow; mainly just white, then black, then fall off. My question is is this yellowing a normal part of the process and should I just continue with the Apple Cider Vinegar treatment until it falls off or is there something else that I should be doing? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

That wart could very well be a sign of HPV. Please get checked by a doctor.
