Human Papilloma Virus.

Isn’t that extremely contageous?

I mean, the doctor is right next to him, and wearing a pair of socks...

I’m truly and genuinely glad the American doctor wasn’t stumped by his condition. :-)

Pretty much everyone is already infected. The guy has a genetic defect that keeps his body from fighting off the virus. The genetic defect is not something that can be spread. The guy just has really huge warts.

Wow, what a terrible, awful thing to have to live with.

It’s a wonderful thing that his prospects have so greatly improved.

Human papilloma virus (or HPV) is generally sexually transmitted and causes genital warts. I don’t believe eveyone is already infected. Do you have a source for this info?

Dittos to your post #11. It reminds me of some of the characters in the movie, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (and I couldn’t stand that movie).

I think Types 1&2 may be predominate in the population, the type that causes common warts. The STD version is another type, if I recall correctly.

They sure have some strange things going on in India. The recent ones I remember are

A boy with a tail

An adult man that was carrying his own twin

And of course more recently

8-limbed girl's surgery...
