The chances of passing on genital warts :/

Anonymous

I had genital warts about 3weeks ago, and they all cleared up (thanks to this amazing cream)... so I carried on how I usually am and I slept with a boy (who I've slept with before) over the weekend. I was just having a look down there before, as I now do weekly "checks" to see if everything is all good... and I found some more warts :/ I thought they had all gone and now I think I will have passed them onto him... I really don't know what to do, should I tell him?

I have told him and he is actually taking it really way and thinks it could of been him that passed it onto me. No need for the harsh comments, its an easy mistake...

Genital warts HPV is passed on via skin to skin contact. Sometimes, the immune system clears the warts within a few months. However, even if the warts go away, the HPV might still be active in the body. So the warts could come back or they may not. Usually within 2 years, the warts and the HPV are gone completely from the body on its own.
I caught genital warts not long after breaking up with an exGF in 2016. They were very tiny and brown in colour along my penile shaft and harmless. Within a few months they were gone and haven't come back since.

I have had warts aswell, I got it from loosing my virginity. It's horrible how people are so rude. It could happen to them too. HPV is the most common std in the world & most people don't know they have it, and condoms don't stop it. My doctor told me to wait unlil the warts are clear for 6 months before you can say you don't have them.

  Don't listen to those assholes who are being rude and trying to scare you. Genital warts are not serious, and will not cause cancer. It's a low risk strain of HPV and the only symptom is the warts themselves. Which can be easily treated and never come back, the might come back but it's not garanteed, especially if you have been clear for over 6 months. I've been to 4 doctors none of them seemed to concerned about it, and told me not to worry.

  It's okay :) I know how horrible it feels. I'm not a whore or anything, I've only ever had sex with one guy & used condoms but I still got them! it's more common then you think. But really it isn't as bad as people say! it's not going to kill you or anything, it's just ugly! but you can get the warts to go away. My mums best friend had them when she was 20 and had them burnt off, she's 53 now

  and she has NEVER had them return, or pass them onto any sexual partners. She's been married and has had 2 children. Genital warts did not effect her life at all. She's never had cervial cancer or any of that crap people are trying to scare you with. They don't know what they are talking about! genital warts is a very low strain of HPV, it's the strains that have no symptoms that cause cancer, that's why women get pap smears to see if they have it.

  Don't listen to anyone's advice unless it's from your doctor. That d*ckhead dosn't know anything, he probably just has no life so has to ruin others to amuse himself. I went to a womans health clinic and spoke to doctors who deal with STD's everyday. They know what they are talking about, not loosers on the internet.

  You're 💯% correct. Condoms don't protect you against getting genital warts or herpes either.

... An easy mistake not to tell someone you have an incurable recurring disease... Wow. No wonder AIDS is an epidemic!

  As I said a 7 year old wouldn't require counsel on whether or not to tell someone they have an STI. I'm not here to abuse you. I'm here to be ashamed of the entire "better half" of the human race.

  PID. That's all I got to say.

  PID?

  Pelvic Inflammatory Disease: link
  
  HPV and Herpes V are both bad, HPV which causes PID, is easily passed and PID can be lethal. And it's lethal much faster than HIV.

  from what I read in that I gather that it mainly effects women in their child baring years, and can be caused by more serious STI's like chlamydia and gonorrhea, neither of which I have because I get tested often, and I don't have anything else serious like HIV, syphilis etc etc

  You are aware that HPV is more serious than Chlamydia, right? It's also more rampant, easier to pass, and harder to detect. What you're actually doing is keeping the daisy chain going. I gave you the link so you knew what PID was, I have no idea why you think anything about severity ( because that's never mentioned ) or why the two examples they gave were the end-all. You have no idea how serious HPV really is. Yay, Cervical Cancer!

  Do you think I haven't been to the doctors and had this all explained to me? because I have... there is no certainty that I will get cervical cancer or anything as serious as your making out... I think your trying to scare me and its not gonna work

  Your chances went up astronomically just by having HPV. You have an incurable disease. Syphilis, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, etc. are all curable. HPV is not. Should you contract HIV, HPV agitates the situation in a dangerous manner. HPV, unlike all other STDs, cannot be stopped by condoms alone and the outbreaks will happen all during your life. I'm not trying to scare you; you sitting there saying "Well those are MORE SERIOUS!" is nothing more than self-delusional thought. Infertility is real too.

  can you just leave me alone now please? I think you have had enough fun

  It's not a matter of fun. You need to accept the reality of the situation. Downplaying it is only going to lead you to illicit and inappropriate behavior. You having sex as you were in the past with other guys is going to spread the disease; for all we know your male friend has it, is asymptomatic, and will give it to 5 other women or more during his lifetime. You need to stop f***in' around. For the good of your fellow man your promiscuous behavior has to stop. You don't know who you'll infect.

  i am not promiscuous... I don't sleep around, I don't have one night stands... I usually use a condom, but sometimes I haven't for different reasons... I always get tested and I am always well aware of things, but people make mistakes... I have made a mistake, I'm not down playing the seriousness of it, but your targetting me and its upsetting. I never purposely slept with him to pass it on... I am in no means spiteful. The boy I slept with might of given it to me when I 1st slept with him last year
