i haven't been entirely faithful through our whole relationship of 5 years, but it takes about 6weeks-8months for warts to show up, and i've been faithful during that period. He claims he hasn't cheated on me. Is he full of it, or could I have gotten it somewhere else?
the older i've gotten the less risk i've taken and the more faithful i've been. i'm surprised that now i have warts. i suspect him.

I'm not sure where you got the 6 weeks - 8 months window from, but it can take SEVERAL years sometimes for warts to show up.
I have had HPV for over 6 years and I just developed warts from it a little over a year ago. It took me 5 years for me to develop genital warts from my HPV. It can take a LONG time!
Also, how do you know you didn't get it from someone else? You admitted you haven't been faithful, so maybe you got HPV from some other guy.
There are several ways you could have contracted HPV and you'll probably never know exactly how or where you got it from.
HPV is one of the most common STDs out there today. Most people don't know they have the virus because there really are no signs or symptoms from it. So, they go passing it around unknowingly to anyone they slept with.

HPV which causes genital wart may be dormant for many years before you get any symptoms. That is the problem with HPV that you can really say well he cheated because you might have gotten it the day you became intimate with this person but, yet it came out 5 yrs later. I also have HPV and because of that I've had pre-cancerous cells. My suggestion is that you do your pap smear twice a year to be on the safe side. I am actually getting the Gardasil vaccine today so, ask you dr you might be able to put it I am 24 so I am on time. Good luck!!!

Neither of you had to be unfaithful during that time to pass along HPV...which is the virus that causes vaginal warts. Some people who carry the HPV virus have no symptoms and no warts on the outside of their body. In other words, you could have came in contact with HPV years ago, and the warts were only present internally, and then you'd never know you had them until they showed up externally. He can contract HPV and have no symptoms ever. So, just because you came down with the warts, doesn't mean you got them from him, and if you did, this doesn't mean he got them after he started dating you.
On the other hand, if you suspect him as not being faithful, well then you should probably move on whether it was him or not. It's not fair for you to tie him down if you are going to place blame on him without any proof. I doubt he'd lie about cheating on you...you've already admitted to cheating on him so he'd have no reason to hide it really.

you're surely a sorry piece of artwork. Do you no longer have adequate experience to comprehend that, in case you supply your boyfriend genital warts, he can and could sue you? it is likewise hassle-free as HERPES warts. what variety of guy or woman could "wait until eventually he gets indicators" in the past telling him which you have herpes? Even when you knew you had the warts, you nevertheless did no longer use protection! There would desire to be some form of severe punishment for you in this life. Karma will take you down. in case you have an oz.. of decency left in you, via all means tell your boyfriend which you have herpes with genital warts NOW. He may well be waiting to confirm the wellness care provider and get some thing to stay clear of it. Do you no longer comprehend you have destroyed his possibilities of having a loving dating with women FOR the remainder of HIS life?

I picked up what you said towards the end "The older I've gotten the less risk I have taken" Whatever you did in your past could be suspect as genital warts I believe can be dormant for sometime then for reasons unknown it can spring up. Although the possibility of your bf giving it to you can be true as well, have you talked to him about his past?

If you have been faithful then HE GAVE IT TO YOU! Not only is he a liar and a cheat, he is putting YOUR life at risk. Do not let him tell you he didn't infect you or make you think you are crazy!
