HPV is transmitted by skin to skin contact with a genital wart. these can be present in the genital and anus areas and in the mouth.The doctor will prescribe Aldara ( a cream) or you can get them them frozen or burnt off by a doctor. Don't panic 80% of people in the 18-35 age group have HPV which is the virus which causes warts. it is the most widely spread of STD's. for males it's just a few bumps with no real side effects. for chicks it can be a precursor to cervical cancer. the best analogy is that it is like chicken pox. once you get them and get rid of them you are no longer contagious but you will always have the virus in your system. You are not likely to get them back again as you have a built up immunity. however if you are ill for a while it may strike while your defences are down like shingles. that said there are more than 100 stains of HPV (4 of which can cause cancer) so you may only have immunity to one strain. Also condoms don't cut it if you or your partner have warts that is not covered by the condom. ie in your pubic hair or anus,so sex is always a risk when warts are present but if a chick has warts inside her vagina how ya gunna know? I would tell your future partners but explain to them what I have said. hope this helps. any other info req feel free to email

if you do have hpv (genital warts) that is something that will never, ever go away. the actual warts can be treated but it is a virus that will stay under the skin forever. if you already have a life partner, then she has it too. so its not like you cant have sexual intercourse with her anymore. good luck n i hope thats not what u have.

nothing to worry; first go to doctor; then rest.
good luck.
