Is it true genital warts once burned off can't be given to anyone?

Question

I was told I had genital warts by my doctor when I got a whole std test done. He burned them all off and told me I wouldn't be able to pass them on to any other woman as long as I didn't have any of the bumps as the virus in men only is in the wart itself. Is this true?

I asked two different doctors and its true once a man has them ALL burned off then you can't pass it on if your a MAN. But you need to goto a doctor to make sure they are all gone because some could be flat. Also 3 out of every 4 people have hpv that are sexually active.

Answer 1

I don't believe that. Whether you have the warts or not, you still have the virus. HPV is not curable. The only thing you can do is treat it. As long as you have HPV you will be able to pass it.

I have HPV and I have developed genital warts and cervical cancer from it. Even though I have treated both, I CAN still pass the virus. It's the same with genital herpes. Even if you aren't having an outbreak you CAN still pass the virus.

Answer 3

your doctor was very wrong...Genital warts must be treated by your doctor. Warts in the genital area can be removed, but there's no cure for the viral infection that causes the warts. This means that the warts may come back even after they have been removed.The following are some ways to treat warts on the genitals:Genital warts are more likely to come back because there's no cure for the virus that causes them and because warts are more difficult to control in a moist environment. If warts come back, see your doctor to talk about other ways to treat them.Yes. Genital warts must be treated by your doctor. Do not try to treat the warts yourself.

The warts can be removed, but the viral infection itself can't be cured. The virus goes on living inside your skin. This is why the warts often return after they have been removed. You may need to have them removed more than once.

Answer 4

You sound like your doctor didnt really explain to your what genital warts are and how they surface. Once you have contracted this virus, you are stuck with it....There is not cure for it at this time and you can always have them removed, but this is only a temporary fix, as they can always return at any time. You may go years without any, but if the virus is in your body, that means the warts can still surface.

Answer 5

I've been a healthcare professional for over 10 years...Yes that's true but only in case of men due to men's reproductive organs are on the outside, women's are on the inside and you can not see all of their "outbreaks." a lot of STDS are passed through bodily fluids, genital warts are not one of them!
Good Luck! :-)

Answer 7

i would say that genital warts are very contagious. you could probly give them to someone else because the wart may have been caused by a std.

Answer 8

I don't think that doctor is qualified. You let somebody put a torch to your genetials? eek. You can still pass on the STI even if you show no symptoms.

Answer 9

NoNoNoNoNo.
Your doctor told you this? I think you might of misunderstood. Call him back STD's can still be passed on by the fluids. Women can get this easily.
i encourage you to call back you doctor and ask again.

Answer 10

That is not true. You still carry the HPV virus that causes genital warts. You can still pass the virus to a partner even if you are using a condom. Please be sure to tell future and current partners that you have the HPV virus.
