There is NO cure for the virus that causes genital warts - HPV.

The warts can be treated and can physically go away but the person still has HPV and is still able to pass it to others by either sex (vaginal, oral or anal) or by DIRECT skin to skin contact with the infected area. The warts can also come back and may have to be treated again.

Many women are able to actually get rid of the virus though. They bodies basically "fight it off". This doesn't always happen though! And, since there is no test for men, it is impossible for them to know if they have the virus or if their body was able to fight it off. Usually men find out they have the virus by either developing warts or by finding out their girlfriend or wife has contracted the virus (from them).

Genital warts do go away, but, there is NO cure for the virus that causes them - HPV (human papillomavirus).

Most people are able to get rid of HPV all on their own. But, for some, they have it the rest of their life. There is currently no cure for HPV, only treatment.

Once she treats the warts there is always a chance they can come back. In fact, I've read about 20% of people who have had genital warts have them return and have to have them treated again.

Also, she shouldn't worry about having HPV. It is VERY common. It's actually one of the most common STDs today. I've read about 75-80% of the world has it!

Check out this site for more information on HPV and genital warts:
http://www.herpes-viruses.com

Also, roughneck30 and Myriam Z are just wrong. They are talking about herpes and Valtrex medication, which is used to treat genital herpes, not genital warts. Genital herpes and HPV (the virus that causes genital warts) are two completely different viruses that have NOTHING to do with each other. Valtrex will do nothing for a person with genital warts.

I've had Herpes problem over 3 years. I tried everything, of course I went to the DR. about a hundred times, probably not that many, but it sure seems like it. It never did any good for long and caused all kinds of other issues having to do with taking too many antibiotics. It wasn't until I stumbled upon the information on this site http://herpestreatment.kyma.info that my life changed completely.
I'm feeling so much better now and all of my symptoms are totally gone. I haven't had an outbreak since using that info. Best news: It works even if you’ve already blown hundreds or even thousands of dollars on conventional herpes medication without significant relief…even if you’ve been suffering from herpes for years, and even if your virus is currently in hiding and your doctor claims nothing can reach it.

I know it can work miracles for you if you just let it. See more: Shocking video reveals why Herpes/Cold Sores meds are dangerous

Warts themselves come and go, but the virus lives on forever. I myself have had only one outbreak and that was 11 years ago. Since then, I get one or two but they only last about a month or more and go away on their own. They are spread by skin to skin contact, so you don't even have to have intercourse to get it. Outbreak free does not mean you are free to go without condoms, which do not protect 100% at all. And there is no cure, but people's bodies immune systems do build, which is why some of us like me have only one huge outbreak only while others have them continually.

Again, since 11 years ago, I've had one outbreak. If you think you are the only one, then there's another 35 million of us thinking the same thing. And even if you have HPV, just remember life doesn't stop. I have found love, currently engaged and planning on a long-life of love and companionship.

Genital warts are caused by a virus called the Human Papilloma Virus. The warts can be removed, but the person will have the virus for the rest of their life. It is very common for the warts to reappear after they have been removed. This disease is spread by coming in contact with the wart, but often the warts can not be seen. Genital warts can have very different appearances.

The warts can be removed, but there is no cure for this disease! Using a condom will not prevent transmission of the virus, if it does not completely cover the warts

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes). Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sores sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.
The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid—such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.

There are treatments but my medical guidebook says that recurrence is common. Treatments include the application of a topical medication to destroy the wart or surgical removal. Sometimes, the warts may disappear spontaneously. I would avoid any sexual contact with any one with lesions (warts). Always use a condom.

You always have the Human Papilloma virus... In Australia they are giving young women injections to prevent the virus. If you have H.V.P you need to continue seeing a gynocologist. Women with H.V.P are at a higher risk of cervical cancer. I have been diagnosed with this and have recently had a biopsy and a colposcopy where they scraped the inside of my cervix. .. Just make sure that you continue with papsmears.

Hi Shawney

Natural Cures
In some cases, conventional medical treatment may be necessary to effectively deal with genital warts. Such treatment can involve burning raised warts off using a procedure known as electrocautery, freezing them with liquid nitrogen, or the use of the prescription drug podophyllin as a topical ointment. In some cases, aggressive chemotherapy may also be used by gynecologists. This method can cause pain and scarring as well as damage and narrow the vaginal wall, making sexual intercourse difficult.

The following natural cures can be used by themselves or in conjunction with conventional medical treatment. For best results, consult with a holistically trained physician.

Diet: Healthy eating is of primary importance. Drink plenty of pure filtered water and increase your intake of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, complex whole grains, and oatmeal, as well as organic, free-range meats and poultry and wild-caught fish.

Avoid all commercial, processed, and nonorganic food, as well as alcohol, coffee, sugars, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, food dyes, milk and dairy products, wheat and wheat products, and refined carbohydrates.

In addition, have yourself screened for potential food allergies and sensitivities and avoid those foods for which you test positive.

For the complete whole foods eating plan we recommend to heal and eliminate all imbalances and disease, connect to the full article: Whole Foods Diet. In many cases, a raw food eating plan can be extremely beneficial. To learn more, read Raw Food Diet.

Herbs: Thuja and lomatium, combined with vitamin A ointment, can be applied topically to relieve symptoms. Tinctures of lomatium and thuja can also be taken orally on a daily basis.

Homeopathy: The homeopathic version of Thuja is recommended.

Lifestyle: Smoking and exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke can aggravate symptoms and impair immune function, thereby increasing your risk of contracting genital warts and other STDs.

Nutritional Supplements: Useful nutrients for preventing and reversing genital warts include vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, B-complex, folic acid, and zinc.

Alternative Professional Care
The following professional care therapies can also help to treat genital warts: Ayurveda, Detoxification therapy, Energy Medicine, Environmental Medicine, Magnet Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Orthomolecular Medicine, Oxygen Therapy, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Best of health to you
