Any adults get Molluscum and you're perfectly healthy?!

Any adults get Molluscum and you're perfectly healthy?

So I went to the doctor about a week ago because I had about 10 bumps on my chest. I thought it was acne, he said "Nope, it's MOLLUSCUM". Apparently that's a nasty little virus that causes bumps on your body, that children can get very often, and when adults get it it is generally considered an STD - but it's on their genitals. Well, I've not been busy in the romance department, so I know mine isn't from sex! Plus, mine's on my chest. Maybe I got it from exercise equipment or something...who knows.

He had me take an HIV test just to be on the safe side, because he said that sometimes adults with weaker immune systems get it. I said "Oh, sure, absolutely." I'm a safe guy, so I knew it'd be negative (which it was), so that means that I really did just catch it by chance.

It got me wondering - How many other healthy adults have caught Molluscum before? Mine is gone, finally. He plucked them all off my chest (o-u-c-h!) and it's healing.

Hi:

Thanks for the question, it made me look it up out of curiousity. Try this website it has some information about it and how it can spread. You probably have gotten it from the gym.
