 Posted: 07/02/06 - 23:00 Post subject: Molloscum Results |
  |
|
My boyfriend had molluscum contagiosum but I never got it. About a half year after my last sexual contact with him, I was with a new boyfriend and he also contracted molluscum contagiosum on the suprapubic region. He swore he was completely faithful to me and accused me that he probably contracted it from me since I had been with a man who had had the disease. None of his sexual partners ever had molluscum. I believe that I am an "asymptomatic carrier of molluscum”? Should I be tested?

A skin infection, Molluscum Contagiosum, is caused by a virus transmitted during sexual intercourse. Molluscum Contagiosum appears as tiny pearly growths with central depressions on the skin and it can be diagnosed with the help of microscopic examination of material from the growths. The signs may appear months later after the initial contact, so there is a possibility that you are an "asymptomatic carrier of molluscum”. The infection may have been present in a person for a long time without any signs. Condoms, when used correctly and consistently and where there is no breakage or leakage, provide effective protection against STD and HIV.
