My boyfriend has Genital Warts but has been treating them and has had them surgically removed, he now has none on his penis but he says that he does not want to have sex till they say he no longer has any trace of the virus. I have been waiting for a year for him to treat and for them to go away. My question is does this virus completley go away and can he give me the virus if he does not have any warts anymore? Can wearing a condom prevent this from spreading to me?

There are no FACT medically speaking on "IF" or "when" the virus is completely out of you're system. They say it never goes away, and other say that you're immune system can fight it off.

Statistics also say that if you've clear 6 months - 2 years of no re-occuring outbreaks than you're good. You're immune system has learned to fight off the virus and keep the virus dormant.

There is a 22% chance of re-occurance in warts. Some only get them once and others through months, even years down the line. They say those who get warts again down the road say in years, that they are re-infected. Nobody really knows when, how or what with this virus. Let's just thank god that it's not that serious, well only if it's not taken care off at least for women.

In Men HPV is not that serious, it can be if left un attended. He just needs to stick with his yearly visits. I can relate to him on holding off on sex until he feel comfortable with himself.

He needs to educate himself on the virus and just keep his immune system healthy! Eat healthy, don't smoke, don't over drink on alchohol and exercise.
When he tells you that he wants to hold off on sex to make sure the virus is gone, he actually really cares about you! It's very dangerous in women especially if he has more than one strand of HPV> He's a good guy, just be patient with him and he will come around!
