I told him we would have to use a condom from now on. 3 days later after no calls he broke up w/me via e-mail...my friends think he did this because he wants to find someone that may not know of his STD and he can forget a condom? Does this sound possible?

Simply put:
After 3 years, you would have been blind and dumb not to notice warts on his gentials. Ok? He probably doesn't have it, and is looking for a way out of the relationship. Even so, your friend is wrong. If he wanted to spread the virus, he already gave it to you after 3 years of SEX! Lol... Even more so, he wouldn't have told you. So if that is really his life's mission, to infect women, I doubt he would ask permission to infect you. He just wanted to get the hell out of the marriage. Simply Put: Relax. You lost a jerk and gained a little more self-worth.

Genital Warts:
Genital warts (also known as venereal warts) are caused by a virus, the human papillomavirus (HPV).
Warts are found on or around the penis, anus or vagina.
They are small lumps which have an irregular cauliflower-like surface.
The colour and shape vary depending on their location. Sometimes the warts cause irritation and itching.
Genital warts are a serious health concern as certain types of HPV have been associated with cervical cancer.
However, most women infected with genital warts do not have the strains of HPV that give rise to cervical cancer.
Genital warts often disappear even without treatment. However, there are a range of drug treatments.
Small warts can also be removed by freezing, burning or using laser treatment.
Occasionally, surgery is used to remove larger warts.
Incubation Period: Anywhere from one month to several years. Even if you do NOT have symptoms, however, you must be treated to avoid complications and spreading the condition to others. The virus that causes genital warts is spread by skin-skin contact. Condoms do not adequately protect against genital warts, because the infected spot may not be covered by a condom. The only reliable prevention is to have no skin contact with potentially infected tissue.
Magnification (colposcopy) may be used to see lesions invisible to the naked eye. The tissue of the vagina and cervix may be treated with acetic acid to make the warts visible. A pap smear may note changes associated with HPV.
Please see the web pages for more details and images on Genital warts.

How long were you two sexual active? If you two had sex unprotected a number of times there is no doubt you have the virus. HPV is the most wide spread and contagious VD there is I know I have the HPV virus and all most lost my life due to cervical cancer that the virus caused. My boyfriend claimed he did not have the virus and that I did not get it from him then 2 months later he had a out break so I asked my doctor about it and he said that the virus can lay dormant for years and a person may never know they even have the virus yet they can still pass it from one sex partner to another. So, please go see your OB and get tested for the virus and if you do not have it GREAT then you can get vaccinated for the HPV virus but if you do have the virus there is no cure. The only thing you can do is have regular check ups and pap smears to keep a eye on the virus and to make sure it does not turn into cervical cancer as it did on me. Good luck to you and I wish you the best of luck!

Where do you get this statistic of it clearing up? if you mean to warts go away, sure but he still has the virus. I'd be impressed that he told you before getting involved with him sexually. I mean he must care about you for doing that. I'd go talk with your doctor and ask them what the best thing to do would be. I started seeing a guy who told me the same thing but it was the day after we did it. I was quite upset even though we used protection. It was the fact that he let his guilt talk him into telling me rather than having the balls to say it before hand. So my reaction would be "lets get the real scoop on what we can/can't do to protect ourselves (from a doctor/clinic, maybe even go together) from this becoming any kind of an issue in the future.

I hate to tell you this, but a condom will not protect you against HPV. It is skin to skin contact, not exchange of body fluids that passes it on. Get yourself to your doctor right away; HPV causes not only painful warts in women, but cervical cancer. If you are fortunate and not infected, you might want to get the new vaccine Gardasil that is being advertised to help protect you against selfish jerks like him. In your position, I would get a full STD screen while I was there; if he didn't tell you about this, he may have given you something else as well. Good luck.

Yes it sounds possible, and another thing is you should go to your gyno and specifically ask for an HPV test. They do not perform these tests routinely if you have had normal pap smears. You could possibly have gotten HPV from him in those three years that you did not use condoms.

That sounds likely to me. He will go to another partner and not tell them and this is why the vicious cycle of STD's continues. People don't want to be ostracized but they should be honest with their partners. There are alot of people who choose to remain with someone who has an STD or HIV but if you love them you should not knowingly want infect them. You may need to find out from your Dr how many follow-up visits you will need to have. Good Luck to you! Sugastack

my husband has the virus. like my doctor told me, i already had unprotected sex with him. i have already been exposed to the virus. i never had the warts. he had an outbreak one time. i have yet to get any. i may never get any. if he gets another outbreak, use protection until it clears up or refrain until it clears up. otherwise, ive already been exposed to it so the harm may be there already.
dont make a big issue of this. try and resolve it with your fiance and talk to your doctor.

Yes, but remember that you have already been put at risk of getting the infection. He may have just said that as a way out of the relationship!

Yes, it does. Obviously he didn't love you. First of all ...you waited 3 years and still didn't get married and second, he dumped you pretty quickly over having to wear a condom.
Get yourself someone worthy of you.
