ew that sounds gross !!!!!!!!
It definitely sounds like Genital warts, make her go to a doctor asap
HPV shouldn’t harm an unborn baby, but sometimes they do recommend a c section instead of a natural birth to prevent the baby from coming into contact with the warts. There is no over the counter stuff in Australia, and you shouldn’t use the prescription stuff as it can affect the baby. I wouldn’t worry about getting the virus yourself, its requires more ‘intimate’ contact than you will have with your sis!

Your sister does need all the help and support she can get though, whether or not she is pregnant. Technically what the 30 year old has done is stat rape and your sister needs to be protected from being hurt further. What kind of sad loser preys on a vulnerable teenager?!
Listen to your sister, support her and offer to go to the doctors with her, remind her that the GP won’t tell her parents she is pregnant without her permission.
If she has HPV, then she can pass it to the baby during delivery (is she has an outbreak), They may want to do a C-Section to prevent that. It could be herpes, too, or maybe just a rash. Are they painful lesions? I am not sure as to whether you can buy anything over the counter, I know that genital warts can be frozen off and that there are certain medications that can be taken to prevent herpes outbreaks. Neither disease is curable, just treatable and manageable. You can’t get these diseases any other way but sexual contact.

If she won’t go to the doctor, tell her that seeing the doctor will not change the outcome of whether she is pregnant, and if she is, it’s important for her to get prenatal care that will help her deliver a healthy baby. Any parent would want that for their child, and if she is planning on giving this baby up for adoption based on the reasons you listed, she needs to make sure she is giving her baby the best start in life health-wise, as well. If she does nothing else for her child, she needs to do that. It is the adult, and responsible, thing to do.

Tell her that having certain forms of HPV can lead to cervical cancer (great risk, actually), and that it’s becoming an epidemic-doctors believe that it will be difficult to find girls without the disease, soon. I personally knew several girls who had this disease in college, and they already had cells on their cervix start to mutate to become abnormal-the doctors cut abnormal parts of tissue out of the cervix. Tell her that other STDs, many of which do not display symptoms in women, can cause scar tissue to form in the organs, and she may never be able to have children when she is ready (they would screen these for her if she was pregnant). Tell her that some of these diseases can cause a miscarriage.

At 15, I would go with the “scared straight” method of getting her to the doctors. Fear, embarrassment, and shame do not change the outcome of what’s been done. Now, it’s up to her to handle the situation in the best way, and the best way is to go see a doctor. Stupidity never had a positive outcome.
HPV is VERY common, and if she’s receives treatment it shouldn’t affect her pregnancy (if she is pregnant). I contracted HPV from my husband (he got it before we met, but never had an outbreak so he didn’t know), and I have a healthy 2 year old and I’m pregnant again. I’ve only had one outbreak, which was treated and haven’t had it again.

She should get treatment for it though… it may go away on its own, but it can get worse and it WILL get unsightly after a while. She doesn’t know if the outbreak is on the inside, and she’ll need to get a pap and internal done to make sure her cervix isn’t affected – if it is she can have fertility/pregnancy issues later in life. There is also a link between cervical cancer and HPV, so it’s really not something she wants to let go (scare her with that if nothing else works!)

It may also not even be HPV but the start of herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea and a host of other potentially dangerous STIs… you’re going to have to be brutal and honest with her. Tell her she was old enough to have sex, now she has to be mature enough to get herself tested and treated… it’s the only way.

DO NOT buy any over the counter medicine, since you’re not even 100% sure she has HPV… even so, genital wart creams can’t be bought over the counter (as far as I know – I needed a prescription) and I’m pretty sure they’re not safe during pregnancy. I didn’t respond well to the creams anyway (they burn the hell out of you, lemme tell you it’s not fun… I wanted to climb the walls), and ‘freezing’ them didn’t work well either. In the end, my doctor treated me with ‘vitamin bombs’ (as he called it). I got injected with high doses of vitamins once a week and that cleared up my outbreak. Again, do not try this at home… what my doctor did was slightly dangerous and I was closely monitored. Too much of a good thing (even vitamins) can have far reaching effects on your body.

I got pregnant while I was still being treated, and while I was pregnant it just ‘went away’. I’ve been having normal paps ever since… mind you, the warts never spread to my cervix, but I was lucky.

HPV can not be transferred through normal human contact. It’s a sexually transmitted disease, so don’t even worry about that. You and your baby will be absolutely fine.
