I can't believe how rude some people are! Geez!
There is no cure for HPV (the virus that causes genital warts), there is only treatment to get rid of the warts. Once treated though, they can always come back.
When I had genital warts about 8 months ago my doctor prescribed me a topical medication (cream) called Aldara. It worked really well, but took a little over a month for them to completely disappear, so you have to be patient. There is also another topical medication called Condylox. I've heard this works really well too.
If neither of these work you may have to have the doctor apply a medicine in the office that only they can apply or you may need to have them surgically removed.
As for having children, you should have absolutely no problem. I know a few women and couples who have HPV and have perfectly normal healthy children. Also, oral sex is okay as long as you do not have any visible warts. Sometimes they are too small to see though, or they are inside the women. If a person does perform oral sex on a person with warts it is possible for them to get warts in their mouth or throat. This is REALLY rare though. Even though condoms are not 100% safe, they are the best thing for preventing the spread of HPV (other than abstinence of course).

there is no cure for hpv...there are treatments..With chemicals,
By freezing,
By electrically being burned off, or
Via surgery or lasers.
For most people, this treatment will clear the warts. If your warts return repeatedly, the doctor may try injecting them with the drug interferon. Although treatment clears the symptoms, the virus remains in your body
Rarely, a pregnant woman will pass HPV to her baby during vaginal delivery, resulting in laryngeal papillomatosis (warts on the voice box).Once a couple is sharing an HPV infection, there are no restrictions on their sexual practices. It may not be great to get HPV--but there's at least that silver lining.

Genital warts
Reviewed by Dr Dan Rutherford, GP
What are genital warts?
© NetDoctor/Justesen
Genital warts are mainly transmitted through sexual contact.
Genital warts are a sexually transmitted condition caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). Genital warts can be flat with stalks, or cauliflower-like, and are most often seen on the genitals or the area around the rectum.
HPV can be divided into several sub-categories. Some types are more resistant to treatment than others, and some are associated with the early stages of cancer in the genitals.
Genital warts are a very common viral sexually transmitted disease. The disease usually hits young people in their 20s.
How do you get genital warts?
Genital warts are mainly spread through sexual contact.
In rare cases both adults and children are infected indirectly, for instance through the use of an infected towel. Babies can also be infected during delivery.
What are the signs of genital warts?
Genital warts do not appear until two to four weeks after infection and sometimes months pass before the warts become visible.
Genital warts do not usually hurt, but they can be itchy. The warts have varied appearances - from completely flat warts to rough cauliflower-like warts. They can appear on their own or in groups.
In males, genital warts often appear on the penis or underneath the foreskin. The warts can also be situated in the urethra, in most cases at the very end of it, and the area around the rectum.
In females, genital warts appear on the lips of the vulva, in the vagina, or by the urethra. Genital warts can also appear in and around the rectum.
Genital warts can be so flat that they become invisible to the naked eye, but they usually make themselves felt through an itchy and burning sensation. 'Invisible' genital warts can be detected by a doctor as described below.
Who is at risk?
* People with many sexual partners.
* People who do not practise safe sex.
Good advice
* Use a condom - it will partially protect you against genital warts.
* Anyone in doubt should contact their doctor who will examine and treat them and also their partner or partners.
* A sudden and strong eruption of genital warts could suggest a defect in the immune system perhaps caused by HIV - anyone affected should contact their doctor immediately.
How does the doctor make the diagnosis?
* Through a clinical examination.
* To detect 'invisible' genital warts the doctor will swab the skin with acetic acid. The genital warts will then show as white patches on the skin.
How are genital warts treated?
* It is important that both partners are treated. Make sure you follow the treatment - genital warts are easy to treat when they are small and few.
* Genital warts can be treated by swabbing with the cell poison, podophyllotoxin (Condyline).
* Some cases may be referred to a specialist in skin and sexually transmitted diseases who will remove the warts under local anaesthesia using surgery, freezing, or laser treatment.
Outlook
* Anyone who has previously been infected with genital warts runs the risk that they will return now and then for the rest of their life. However, sometimes there is only one outbreak.
* The treatment can last for months.
* Some wart types are thought to be connected to the occurrence of cell changes in the neck of the uterus and cancer in the sexual organs. It is therefore a good idea for women with genital warts in the vagina to have a smear test as well as following the prescribed treatment and having the normal tests.
* It is not necessary to be referred to a sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinic by a doctor. You can arrange an appointment directly, and in total confidence. Contact phone numbers are always listed in the phone book.

Well, I mean kids are great and all, but I could never eat a whole one. I'll take the girl with warts. Her warts might actually cancel out my slurpy herpes.

you need to get them frozen off by a professional.
If left untreated they can cause infertility.
If you are female, be prepared to have pap/smear tests every year instead of every 4.
They can keep re-occuring, especially if the immune system goes down or is weak.
