I just found your forum and was wondering what I was going to do about some genital warts that recently appeared. I went out and got band aids, cotton balls, ACV. I initially took a little onto a cotton ball and just applied it for about 10 seconds. No burning but after a few minutes they were turning a little lighter in color. So I soaked some pieces of cotton ball and held them in place with the band aid. I will let you know how I make out.

Okay 24 hours have passed.
What I did was apply ACV to cotton and hold with bandaids. Ouch when you're hairy and go to remove the bandaids. This was/is the most painful part for me. I left this on for 3 hours during the day removed and washed with soapy water. I let about 5 hours go by and reapplied the same technique for another 2 hours washed with soapy water and went to bed with nothing applied. This morning all of the tops of the warts are either a redish brownish or have darkened.
I just showered and reapplied as before. I will update in another 24 hours. So far so good.
I also noticed a couple of more warts that i didn't see before due to them coming in contact with the ACV.

Okay.
3 days have passed. What started out as a couple of warts actually turned out to be 8 at the base of my shaft and one half way up.
The other became noticeable due to the ACV contacting them. Because the 8 were in a cluster I had to treat them as a group and use a whole cotton ball. I used a piece of cotton ball on the lone one.
I would have to say that this works because I just took a shower and admittedly scrubbed thr area and the reddish brownish scabs came off exposing raw flesh. I poured hydrogen peroxide on them and toweled off. Now I am treating the skin with A&D ointment to get rid of the burned skin.
I do have 2 spots that are white bumps so I don't now how these will look in a day or 2 but I'm giving my skin a break before any more treatments. I have also started to drink ACV by adding it to my water bottle so that I get a little all day long.

I just wanted to give an update. One month later I noticed one isolated tiny wart on the base of my shaft. I used a q-tip soaked with ACV and held it there for 15 minutes repeating 4 times for a total of one hour. Then a small piece of cotton ball with small amount of ACV and a band aid to hold. After day one the wart was already dark brown with little irritation to the surrounding skin. I should have eased off, but instead took the agressive approach and repeated the q-tip being held in place for one hour. Big mistake. It ate an acid burn into my skin which is 1/8" in diameter that is taking some time to heal. I am put neosporin on it daily, but it doesn't look great. So a word to the wise, go easy it will work. No need to be aggressive.

I have had HPV for 4 years and I've tried everthing under the stars to eliminate it. I've tried all of the following and most I have done in combination: Aldera cream, condoylx, compound w, freezing myself with compound w, freezing at the dr's office, and some super acid once (ouch). Not one of the above was the answer. This hpv has taken a huge toll on me over the last 4 years and I haven't ever been able to get back on track. Praying and worrying haven't helped at all either. I started ACV three days ago. This was my strategy, although they're not all gone yet, it is sure promising. Take the bulb of a q-tip and soak it ACV, then put that in the center of a band aid. I try to get the band so it's less sticky, so I put it up against a bath towel a few times. The ACV burns/itches a little but not very much compared to freezing them yourself. I leave the soaked cotton tip against the area of concern for about 3 hours. The warts will turn white and macerated. I didn't think the next part would come true but today the little ones started turning black!! Seriously, this is no joke and I hope right now you're smiling and feeling a sense of purity again. I had warts in places I didn't even know. Once I heal completely from the latest self freeze I plan on soaking an entire gauze and doing it to my entire penis. This posting and all the information gained here was a true blessing and I'm not religious. Good luck and trust me, I'm a pessimist and this really honestly works!

A few days ago I discovered your website. I have been suffering with internal and external anal warts that return after surgery or freezing. I tried ACV and it removed them within 3 days. I applied ACV onto tissues and applied directly to the warts and area that they were located. Despite the pain, I have to say this is the best and quickest method I have ever tried.

I don't really know how to check inside, but maybe with TP or a tampon you can apply it inside? I'm trying to find a way to do it because I had surgery for it and I'm trying to figure out how to do ACV inside because the ACV did wonders on my external ones. I realize this is 8 years later but hopefully someone else can comment on this!

**Are u looking 4 a CURE?? ACV is def the answer. I read all the comments on acv & tried it 2 days ago. I wanted to be able to help someone w/ my experience & how it worked 4 me. I found out i had HPV a few weeks ago & i was disgusted. I had also just lost my medical Insurance. ha, i was terrified that it was gonna spread everywhere if i didn't get to a obgyn FAST! I was desperate 4 a cure. I decided 2 try acv. Its day 2 for me using it. I was scared at 1st because the warts are in places that seem hard to treat w/ out burning. Mine are located around my vaginal opening. On day 1 - I used cotton balls soaked in acv & i used a guaze tape instead of bandaids. it took alot of tape to get it right. I layed the cotton across the infected area & taped it up. It stung pretty good which i was glad of because I knew it must be working. I went to bed with it on all nite. I woke up & they had turned white & I knew then that it was working. They were all pretty small but a couple were kinda larger than the rest. On night 2 - I applied it again the same way. It stung even worse which was okay for me cuz i was expecting that. I woke up & took it off - I was kinda dissapointed that they hadn't turned black like others have reported but were still white. But then -oh yes- i noticed that some of the larger ones had literally fallen off. I was amazed.Afterwards, I sprayed aloe vera on myself to ease the burning sensation which works great. So 2day, my plans are to treat the remaining ones w/ a q-tip throughout the rest of the day. I'm determinded 2 get rid of these sick things. I will keep you all posted on my results. I'm hoping after tonight - I will be wart free. But to others who are desperate 4 a cure - girls- this is the way. I promise. I was skeptical at 1st but it seems 2 be working. I'm writing this so i can share my results with others who are not sure what to do about this. I know who scared you are and embarrassed. I won't even have sex w/ my husband due to that. Its disgusting & I wanna help someone like this site helped me. everyone's comments helped me make it through this. Thank you all for sharing experience w/ me. Now - I'm giving back as well. If anyone is scared - please try this. It works. Good luck to you all. Questions are welcomed. I want to be able to help anyone I can by simply sharing my treatment's with ACV. Good Luck - It truly works***

ACV!!! I'm back to give u my update w/ ACV. Guess what ~ It truly works!! After sleeping w/ acv on me for the 2nd nite in a row - the following evening I applied it once again the same way w/ tape & cotton balls. I left it on me for about 5 hours & then took it off. Well, i went out of town & didn't use it for 4 days. while being gone for the 2nd day - i finally looked & they were all gone except 2!! YES> so excited. I think skipping a few days actually helped even more. I don't know but all but 2 are gone. I treated them again for about 3 hrs today & I'm sure they will be gone by tomorrow. This stuff works. Good luck 2 All.

I used ACV with cotton balls over my warts for maybe two weeks, and it did cause them to turn white and then come off. But my warts were just below my belt line down into my pubic hair and now the areas where the warts were are just flat pink spots that still itch and look just as bad. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Apple Cider Vinegar treating genital warts
This site and your postings have been great!
I must have got infected with genital warts (hpv)by the ex-gf about 2 years ago. After a rather scary mis-diagnosis (herpes) at hospital(!), I consulted a general practitioner doctor to double check and he said it was hpv. He confirmed with a biopsy sample after burning off the warts. After a recurrence I used Podofilin, but they came back, so tried Aldara (Imiquimod) but that was expensive, caused irritation and didn't work. I then tried some oil I bought over the internet from a company in USA. The oil did get rid of some warts, but not all. Then I found this site ...
Early this month (Aug 08)I used ACV on specific warts on my shaft using cotton balls and bandaids and they seem to have gone. But something didn't look right on the head. So then I did the full gauze bandage wrap and plastic covering method too. I was amazed at all the tiny little dark spots that appeared in different places after 4 days. ( I used a magnifying lens to get a good look). That was 4 days ago and now the dark scabs are healing. Will keep you posted on results. For me, 4 days consectively of applying ACV is probaby the limit.
Thanks to all.

Apple cider vinegar is awesome - caught genital warts from my ex wife? and have been suffering from it now for close to 4 years, just one close to the base of my unit. Then it spread to the foreskin :(... I think because of my poor diet and a lot of stress. Started searching on the net and found earthclinic, as the last thing I would ever do is front up to a doctor. But anyway - ACV used was the normal supermarket varity, bought some hydrogen peroxide 20vol and went to work. With a bit of trouble - used small bits of cotton cloth soaked with the vinegar and let the foreskin hold it in place with a bit of tape overnight. True to form the warts went white, next night warts went yellow/grey with no stinging, I should have just kept up with that another night... and then I decided to use the peroxide to clean the area - what a shock. When using peroxide I think you should use a diluted version of it. The stuff I used had pretty spectatular effects the warts fizzed and bubbled where the warts were wow!!. a couple of hours later I ended up with burns over the areas where Id used the peroxide. I spent the next couple of days in a bit... alot of pain. But overall it was well worth all the effort and pain. I now have healing - peeling bits with a few dimples where the warts were. Well happy... I still have one to treat but will hold back on the peroxide I think. Thanks Earthclinic!...

I got genital warts when I was bout 17. Went to the free clinic and the lady put the brown stuff on some of them and after a while.. most of them fell off. A couple stayed. After a year or two, I had to go to the doctor for the flu or something and at the time, I asked him to do something about the rest. He froze them and all but one went away. I've had that one since then (I'm 28 now) and its been annoying and embarrassing ever since.
I dont have insurance so I was looking around online for a do it yourself remedy and found something on eBay where if you payed the guy like $10, he would send you the instructions on how to fix them yourself for "really cheap ingredients you can buy at your local grocery store" I never did that but I did find this site and its probably the same solution noted here.
Anyway, I just got some Apple Cider Vinegar.. put a bit on a small folded paper towel, applied to the wart on the shaft and wrapped with a couple bandaids so they would stay in place. I'll let you all know how it works out!
VERY HOPEFUL!

So, it's been a few days of me applying ACV to cotton balls and letting sit on the wart. It turned white and then I took off the dressing in the morning to let the wart dry out thinking that was part of the process. It eventually went back to it's normal color so I put some more ACV on a cotton swab and wrapped up. Left it there without changing it for about a day and a half. Went to change it the other morning before I took a shower and the cotton was kind of stuck to the wart...
As I pulled the cotton away, part of the wart.. like the top part came with it. Kinda gross.. but still.. that seemed promising. It didnt hurt.. but then, I wasnt exactly ripping at it.. it just came away when I took the cotton away. Part of the wart was black as well.
I took a shower and did not re-wrap. I wrapped it last night and this morning it was stinging pretty bad.. not sure if that was the wart itself or my morning wood pulling at the bandaids but that kind of sucked. Still not nearly enough to make me regret anything so far.

Most of the wart is black now... I didnt wrap it today.. I'm just letting it chill and dry out. Might put a wrap on it tonight.
Note that this is a single fairly large wart.. probably about an 1"8th of an inch across. There is one more small one on the other side of the shaft that I will take care of after this one and I expect the small one to take less time than this one.. but I think it's working! WOO!

ACV - I had these like 7 yrs ago and got em froze off. Only to return..I read the posts figured what the hell. I taped 2 gauze pads soaked in AVC squeezed some out and folded in half. Wrapped around my little guy and taped them up tight. I put a little vaseline around the end near the tip so as not to irritate. I have been up for the last 2 hrs and feeling a bit skeptical. Went to take a look and change the bandage..Holy crap! they are already turning white. Same effect the freezing had w/o the pain! I am sure it will sting tomorrow, but I am going to leave them on all night and post again with my results! thanx everybody!

ok..day 2. wow this stuff really works! In 24 hrs they have almost all turned black! but man does it sting...ouch. I ended up taking a large gauze bandage soaking it in acv and wrapping it around my whole member. i was shocked to see how many little ones there were. i had only noticed like 4 pinhead sized ones but there are like 13 little pintip ones too. well it's really working but man does it sting. i switched on/off dabbing with q-tip cause the areas around my guy are gettin sore. well looks promising and i'll keep posting till they are gone. i also did like 2 shots of acv, one in morning one in night...i figured what the hell, can't hurt. if that's what it does on the outside it must be like clorox through your veins on the inside. here's to frying those little buggers...cheers!

day 3..ouch...raw and tender. they are all black now and lots of red soreness from the acv. gonna give it a day to heal up then attack them again full force. i must say it really works but man does it sting. when i had them years ago and got them froze off, the same thing happened. instead of weeks going back to dermatologist for treatment after treatment, i could have done it myself and saved $ and time. i remember he said that freezing them off actually helps to build your immune system against them. the guy wrote an encyclopedia on dermatology so he knew what he was talking about. they stayed away for almost 8 yrs. oh well i'll post again with more results. still taking 2 shots of acv in morning and night, tastes like hell but suppose it can't hurt. cheers to fryin' those buggers!!

Well what can i say, acv really works!! 98% of them are gone. I have like 4 tiny pin tip ones left and they are really hard to get . wrapping my guy with the whole gauze bandage is a great method but unless i keep half a woodie, the bandage moves, so it's a bit frustrating. i mean who can keep wood with major construction going on down there. maybe i should pop a bottle of viagra and see if that works. anyways it's been 10 days and i am very pleased with the results. i got some tea tree oil and that is very soothing. i haven't been consistent with the wrap, because of the tenderness but using a q-tip soaked here and there for 20 min. at a time. i think the wrap is the way to go but you really have to give yourself some time to heal between treatments. i will post again in a week and give my final results. thanks to everyone and keep frying those little buggers!!!!

It is 08/16/08 at 3:20 am. I have applied Heinz Apple Cider Vinegar onto about 10 cotton balls and placed them all around my penis area and holding them with adhesive tape that I had found in a first aid kit. The Genital warts that I have are small but many on the shaft. They look more as if they are under the skin. Though time they look as if they had started either from my testicles and moving up toward the bottom shaft.That is where there are more noticeable ones. I have to be at work at 12 tomorrow so i have about 6 or 7 hour of rest before I have to take the cotton balls off. Tomorrow night I will have written my results of my first day of using ACV. Wish me Luck

Day 3: So far I have noticed some of the warts are turning more white and some turning black that I've noticed in the morning, and later that night some more where popping up black. How long does it take for the black ones to go away or fall off I guess. I'm stoping for now to let the black ones heal and there are some burns I want to heal too. I really do trust this method. I was trying the aldera cream but it didn't seem to be working. I was only using samples. A 30 pack of it was over 400 dollars.

After living with genital warts since last October (my doctor removed some in March, but they came back), I've been suffering the humiliation, etc., that everyone else speaks of. Two days ago I found this site (I didn't want to have to go spend money/pain at the doctor again). I tried the ACV (which I use for my hair to make it shiny and soft) and can't BELIEVE how amazing the cure is. It really illustrates the backwards health system when doctors don't suggest simple solutions, but expensive pharmaceutical options. I tried the cotton ball method and at first there was no sting, but on day two and three there is some-so it's a little more painful, but worth it. After the very first treatment some of the bigger warts dried off. I'm hoping they'll all be gone in a couple of days and then I'll try some healing ointment for the skin. Thanks so much to all the posters!
P.S. I'm drinking ACV for my cholesterol too, so I'll post in a couple months my findings. Seems like ACV is the cure for most things?
Good luck to all! And keep sharing your cures...I'm going to educate my doctors too!

Well I am trying to ACV for removal of anal warts--I was diagnosed with them recently (though it was obvious to me what they were). Because everything shuts down in France for the month of August, I couldn't get a laser removal appointment until 3 weeks from now! Forget it! I was not waiting that long to get these nasty things out of my a--!
I started the treatment yesterday and I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised! 4 of the warts are now black and crusty and they look like they are about to fall off! I have a bigger one that goes slightly into the anus and that one seems to be taking longer to burn off....but I will keep at it! This is definitely working. I hope a few more treatments will do they trick.
Warning: for me it did not sting too much yesterday on the first treatment, but today the pain has been actually pretty intense. I am bearing it because I am incredibly motivated to remove these gross things. Some people it stung less, for some more. Either way, it is worth it!
I will update in a few days!!
Thanks everybody for the great tips!

UPDATE:
Well I am on my 4th day and last!
I am soooo thankful to everyone here for the advice, the ACV worked better than I could have ever imagined.
By day 2 of treatment the warts were black and by day 3 after taking a shower in the morning they were gone, except for one wart that was large and protruding out of my anus. However, that wart was much much smaller...on day 3 I started applying the ACV with a Q-tip right on that wart because my anus was too sore for the cotton ball...and as of tonight on day 4 I can't see anything!! It is gone...even the inside part is gone!
Just to make sure the whole area has been treated I reapplied the ACV with a cotton ball to the entire area for 10 minutes (enduring pretty strong burning!) It is my last treatment...and I couldn't be happier.
Instead of waiting for 3 weeks for an invasive procedure, some apple cider vinegar took my warts away in 3 days. Unbelievable. Granted, it was pretty painful vis-a-vis the stinging and burning....but what a small price to pay to get rid of your warts for super cheap and without invasion of privacy and in 3 days!
I will now apply emu oil and neosporin to the anal area and I'm sure in 3-4 days I will be back to normal!
Bon courage everyone!

For those suffering with Genital Warts, ACV is the key, and I have no medical reason as to know why.
After spending hundreds of dollars on creams, drops, tablets - none of them working, a mate suggested aldara. HA! This stuff seem to have 'feed' the warts and made the bigger, and invite their 'friends' for a party on my bum.
After reading the many review on earth clinic's web site. I thought, what's the harm is giving it a go, even though I was highly sceptical.
My treatment consisted of the following items:
1. Dry (not wet) Make up remover pads (I'll explain why later)
2. Cotton Bud / Q-tip
3. Vitamin E Gel Caps (optional), and of course
4. ACV!!!
Total price: $11. 50 ($6.50 minus the Gel Caps)
Now the run down, taking into account, I'm a GUY and these little white headed friends of mine we multiplying on my bum just on the outside, and a few on the inside. (sorry for the description, but after reading the site, I wanted to let everyone know how I went about it to help others out there):
NIGHT ONE
I did my treatments prior to going to bed.
1. Take the Make-up Remover pad and dip the pad half way into the ACV, leaving the other half mostly dry.
2. SQUAT on the floor (sorry guys but this is the only way to get it to stay in place) and with a hand mirror on the ground - so you can see what you're doing, gently separate your bum with one hand and then using your finger push the wet end of the pad into your bum hole, squeeze ya butt cheeks together and stand up - this will keep the ACV soaked pad in place and in contact with the affected area. The dry part on the outside of your bum will act as a barrier to absorb any 'leaks'
3. Leave in there for 30 mins (or as long as you can, depending on how much discomfort you may feel). I wouldn't exceed an hour though.
4. After the time, take it out and throw it away. Don't wipe your bum, or wash. Leave as it. Sure you will smell like a pickle, but believe me it's worth it.
NIGHT TWO
OUCH! So my bums a bit sore on Night Two. But stick with it. Had a shower, and gave it a good scrub down there.
All my warts have turned a bright white, however there appears to be more than I first thought. The ACV has exposed even the smallest hard to see ones.
I repeated the Night One treatment on the second night, however this time before the pad, I used a ACV soaked cotton bud / Q-tip and brushed the warts with a bit of pressure.
NIGHT THREE
Alright, Night Three's treatment there is some progress, the smaller ones have turned black and when I wipe a makeup remover pad on my anal area, the black ones fall off. There are a few stubbon ones, that are either layered or just tougher to move. But I stuck through it. Night Three, I repeated the treatment process.
NIGHT FOUR
OH DEAR GOODNESS!! My bum is super red, and raw. I gave the treatment a rest and just focused on the Vitamin E gel caps.
NIGHT SIX
I gave the treatments a rest for a few days, and I have noticed when I wipe my bum area after a shower, little black dots / warts are falling off. After having a look with the mirror. The only ONE that's left is the larger layered one. WHOO HOOO!
Night Six's treatment, I just used a Cotton Bud soaked in ACV to wipe firmly but not aggressively the larger one, sitting the cotton bud on the wart for a few minutes.
NIGHT SEVEN
And we are done. After tonight's shower, the larger one has gone, it's a little red from the ACV but I gently wiped the anal area with a pad soaked in ACV, stung a bit but and used a cotton bud on the area that had the larger one - just to be sure.
I kept this process up every second night until I was happy with the Vitamin E gel caps soothing and restoring the areas, while the light ACV wipe keeps in all in 'check'.
So my recommendation. Give it a try. It's cheap, and while it can be mighty uncomfortable it's worth it. All up the process took about 2. 5 weeks - maybe a little longer for the larger layered one but it give me the most amazing feeling knowing they are not there anymore.

A yellow and red , it says clean the area, apply polyspori then put a banddage... On my genital? Do I apply it to my genital wart? Is it safe? am I using the wrong product? How do I treat a common genital wart?PLEASE any help out there... Are common warts even possible? how do I treat it?

ACV has worked for me. First noticed two warts about 2 months ago. Within days they were gone. But a few more came back recently. I once again used the cotton ball wrap method (they are on the shaft of my penis, just under the head). One has turned black, so it will be gone soon. The others are gone, but in their place it looks like I have a chemical burn. The skin is gone in some areas, and the skin immediately surrounding that area is white and moist. It doesn't look too pretty. Any idea on how I can heal this burn? Because of where this area is, the burn doesn't get any air. It's covered by skin...

I'm glad I found this site..I just hope that this works. But first...
1 - How do you "file back" the wart? Do you file down the caulliflower top or around the diameter of the wart, filing at the area where it meets the skin?
2 - I've been using Aldara for just over 2 months.
Two of the original three warts that I had are gone, the last one is just about 1/8 inch in diameter, but very stubborn which is why I'm considering the ACV.
How long should I be off of the Aldara before starting the ACV? The area around this wart is irritated from the Aldara but the wart itself has been minimally impacted by it.

Hi Jonathan ........... you could try aloe vera gel ....... rub it gently on the sore, irritated areas of your skin as much as you feel ..... better if you can get a fairly developed plant in any nursery (leaves should be about a foot long) and scrape a little gel from the inside of the leave with your finger and apply it on your skin ........ rather than buying the processed products in the market (more expensive and less effective)
...... it heals and soothes the acid burned skin...

Noticed recently that I had some strange little bumps under my foreskin and around base of the head of my penis, they were very small. At first I thought they were just skin tags and I scrubbed them off with pumice BIG MISTAKE! Because when I found this site days after and started treating with the apple cider vinegar, I had infected a large area of skin in two places. Have to say though that the cider vinegar works amazingly. One area has gone black and is in the process of falling off, the other area got quite burned by the ACV and I had to stop, its spread a little more, but Im going to let it heal completely and then attack anything that grows there later. Originally I was putting my penis into a small jar of ACV and leaving it to soak for a couple of hours, then I heard about medical tape and band-aiding, this is much better option, you can expose the virus for a far longer time. SO YES, it works, so thankful I found this site.

Hello. Just started the Apple Cider Vinegar technique and after 3 hours can see differences. I have a depressingly large number of warts, and after this time period I find I have even more. I am Pretty sure this is a good thing to see. Just before I tried this I had a go at just wrapping my gent in stickytape which is another new one I found. I think it might have got rid of one (it's like a blood blister which i'm sure you all know means one deed wart), but then again it could be just a spot from sweating under the tape!
I have tried pretty much every technique of getting rid of them; all through the doctors. It seems to me that doctors in general do not have a clue about genital warts! The first was being given a dose of Aldara. 6 petite packages. The instructions read "apply a thin layer of Aldara cream onto the treatment area and rub it gently into the skin until the cream vanishes. Do not use more Aldara cream than is needed". Well my doc didn't give me any idea of how much and the instructions give you less. When I went back to that doctor with a serious fungal infection eating away at everything he told me 'you used too much but I think we have cortorised that wart". Hmm? There was another hundy bucks down the drain. Even I knew that wasn't how Aldara worked.
And so (I've been travelling) I got to the next doctor. This guy was actually good; he told me STRAIGHT that what I have will take a while to get rid of, if at all. He tried freezing them off and I'm sureyou all know by now that when you do that in patches, after a couple of days you see more pop up in the surrounding areas. I tried to get him to just do my whole gent in one go, however I (and I can put up with a fair amount of pain) let him stop when he thought he was done due to the agony. Wuss.
Then the next place I went to just wanted to give me Aldara again! Even after telling him that it didn't work and gave me fungal infections. He insisted that it would if I tried a more gentle aproach. He actually gave me instructions that wern't in the aldara packet. "Apply a tiny bit to the whole area over night (6-10 hours), wash and repeat everyother day". Well, I just had to use antifungal cream everyother day!
The next place and perhaps the most rediculous gave me a vaccine jab against it and said I should take another 2 at $100 dollars each! I was that depressed that I didn't want to tell the useless bastrd that a vaccine only works before you have it. Oh, and he prescribed me more Aldara.
I've gone on long enough, but will keep writing for my own need elsewhere. Also do you all notice the difference in statistics that are written all over the internet and articles in magazines?
I actually think this Apple Cider Vinegar might work! Have had genital warts for 3 years. Don't know who I got it from and don't really care. Apparently it can pop up years after sleeping with anyone and with me it popped up a year after sleeping with anyone.
Wish me luck!
