sexual contact. And it doesn't have to be intercourse. Just touching your "you know whats" together is enough!!!! So, be cautious!!!!!!

If they aren't near your vagina, they probably aren't genital warts, but if you go to the dr. and they tell you they are GW, it takes a couple to a few months for the warts to appear after sexual activity.  It's not a quick turn around like chlamydia, where you know soon afterwards.  It does sound like warts, so don't let the timeline fool you.  Just find out so you don't spread them.  At least you can take measures to keep from spreading them.  Here's what I would recommend to you:\n\nYou could cover them with bandaids during intercourse, but the bandaids could come off if there's moisture involved (sweat.) And there's no way to put a bandaid on an infected skin cell that you can't visibly see yet. The warts spread so easily! A nurse has said "the only way to have sex and prevent spreading them is to use the male and female condom...together..." but if you ask me, that's impossible! Neither condom covers the inner thigh and buttocks. Both partners should have sex with underwear (female) and boxers (male) on to keep the least amount of skin from touching! It's not sexy, but ...neither is spreading warts. Best of luck to you.

Treatment\nGenital warts often disappear even without treatment. In other cases, they eventually may develop a fleshy, small raised growth that looks like cauliflower. There is no way to predict whether the warts will grow or disappear. Therefore, if you suspect you have genital warts, you should be examined and treated, if necessary.\n\nDepending on factors such as the size and location of the genital warts, a doctor will offer you one of several ways to treat them.\n\nImiquimod, (Aldara®) a topical immune response cream which you can apply to the affected area \nA 20 percent podophyllin anti-mitotic solution, which you can apply to the affected area and later wash off \nA 0.5 percent podofilox solution, applied to the affected area but shouldn’t be washed off \nA 5 percent 5-fluorouracil cream \nTrichloroacetic acid (TCA) \npulsed dye laser \nliquid nitrogen cryosurgery \nIf you are pregnant, you should not use podophyllin or podofilox because they are absorbed by the skin and may cause birth defects in your baby. In addition, you should not use 5-fluorouracil cream if you are expecting.\n\nIf you have small warts, the doctor can remove them by freezing (cryosurgery), burning (electrocautery), or laser treatment. Occasionally, the doctor will have to use surgery to remove large warts that have not responded to other treatment.\n\nSome doctors use the antiviral drug Alpha Interferon, which they inject directly into the warts, to treat warts that have returned after removal by traditional means. The drug is expensive, however, and does not reduce the rate that the genital warts return.\n\nAlthough treatments can get rid of the warts, they do not get rid of the HPV virus, so warts can recur after treatment. However, the body's immune system typically clears the virus anywhere from 6 months to a year.[1] There is even some suggestion that effective treatment of the wart may aid the body's immune response. An effective HPV vaccine is currently undergoing a phase III FDA trial and appears nearly 100% effective against the most common types.

You can get a wart anywhere. I have had a wart on my stomach. I used to do Karate which could explain it.

It is definitely possible that he gave it to you. Also, you don't have an outbreak of HPV, you have outbreaks of the herpes virus. You can get genital warts from HPV but it is not considered an outbreak. People can have HPV for years and never show any signs or symptoms. I have had HPV for about 5 years now. After a year of having it I developed cervical cancer and about 6 months ago I got genital warts. So it can take months, if not years to develop any symptoms. HPV is a virus, it will stay with you the rest of your life. The only thing you can do is treat the symptoms, but you will always have the virus.\n\nMen usually show no symptoms of having the STD and spread it very easily to women. There is no test currently for men to detect the virus, usually men find out they have it is by developing genital warts, hand or feet warts. So for him to try and sue you for it is not going to work. There is no way for him to prove you gave it to him or a women from a previous relationship he was in.

No, but you can get warts from a horny guy (if he is infected with human papilloma virus.)

You can never get rid of genital warts(HPV)Once you get the virus you have it forever. You can get them surgically removed(lasered off)but you will always have the virus.

You cannot cure genital warts.  If you have them, you will always carry the virus.  This does not mean you will always have warts though - you simply have the virus in your blood.\n\nThere are tons of products on the internet that claim to cure everything.  The reason is because some people believe everything they see - and some people are very desperate for a cure - and others take advantage of that by selling things that do not work.\n\nYou can get tested free of charge at many Planned Parenthoods, or at Family Planning or STD clinics through your local or state department of health.  It's confidential and no one will ever find out - not even your parents.

You get genital herpes through direct skin to skin contact and by having sex with someone who has the virus. \n\nIf you give a girl oral sex who has genital herpes you can get herpes in your mouth. These are cold sores (herpes simplex one). Genital herpes are herpes simplex 2. Even if she is showing no signs of the virus, she can be "shedding" the virus for up to 10 days after the sores have healed. This can cause you to get the virus.\n\nYou can get cold sores by kissing someone who has a sore on their lip. You can also get them by sharing chap stick or lip stick with some one who has the sores on their lips.

See your doctor, there is no cure but there are ways to treat outbreaks. Some warts are visible, some are not, and on each person the appearance varies. I have treated patients with genital warts that looked like little pinpricks, and others who have had large red inflamed warts all over their genitalia and lower body.

Alright you guys.  Applying duct tape to a wart will cure it.  It creates an inflamatory reaction that "wakes up" your body's immune system, in the process identifying and defeating the virus causing your warts.

It is a gross question, but a good question anyway.  The wart you get on your finger is a slightly different virus than the one you pass from intercourse.  \n\nI still think it is a good idea to get the wart removed by the doctor, he freezes it and it is a simple procedure.  As for the warts on genitals, have those removed as well.  it is a more difficult procedure, but if you have them, the doc Will sedate you and use a special light and microscope so he/she can zap them all.  Get er done.

Finding A Plantar Wart Treatment -There must be a hundred different ways to treat plantar warts. It's best to start with the more conservative treatments and only move to the more aggressive treatments after the conservative ones fail. The best treatment for plantar warts, or any non-genital wart, may be no treatment at all. This is because up to 80% of non-genital warts disappear on their own within a year or two. However, if the plantar wart is too painful or if you are impatient, here are your options: \n\nOver-The-Counter Medications - There are surgical methods, topical methods and injections. The most cost effective and the most biologically effective method of treatment involves injecting viral antigens into the wart itself. \n\nNatural (and naturopathic) Medicines -These run the gamut. Herbal remedies have been created from many sources: aloe vera, garlic, a type of beetle, tea tree oil, goldenseal and from the bark of evergreen trees - just to name a few.\n\nHome Remedies - This is an area where the truly creative methods of curing warts come out. Some are effective, for instance duct tape , and some are not.\n\nOk, these are not medical reccomendations, but I have heard anecdotally that these home remedies may work:\n\nDuct Tape - Foot Wart, Plantar Warts Removal \nI didn't see this remedy on your website, but it truly works... My husband and I each have a few warts here and there. The ONLY thing that has worked to take warts away has been to use a piece of silver duct tape. You just need a piece big enough to stick over the wart. Keep it there all the time - changing the tape daily. I guess there is something in the duct tape that our systems don't like and so our immune system reacts to the site of the duct tape, thus reacting to the virus of the wart as well. \nWhen my doctor saw my warts on my foot (I was being treated for an ingrown toenail) she even suggested using duct tape. I have also read about the cure in a home-remedy book. It does take weeks to work and takes longer to work on plantar warts, but it works and it is simple and CHEAP! - S Jensen, May 28, 2004\n\nWart Removal - Duct Tape & Finger Nail Polish\nUse clear finger nail polish to cover warts. It stops them from breathing and they die within 2 weeks. This is why duct tape and other covers work. Finger nail polish is less noticeable and stays on longer. Please note that it doesn't kill the virus itself. - BLS, May 28, 2004 \n\nPotato Skin & Duct Tape Wart Removal\nCut into a potato skin and place a small piece over the affected area. Then wrap both the area and the potato skin in duct tape, keep it on for several days (5 - a week). Continue until warts have disappeared. - Ward, Alaska, June 22, 2004\n\nRemember:\navoid walking barefoot whenever possible - for example in a public locker room or shower \nchange shoes and socks daily \nkeep feet clean and dry \ncheck children's feet periodically \navoid direct contact with warts on other persons or on other parts of your own body \ndo not ignore growths on, or changes in, your skin \nvisit a podiatrist as part of your annual health checkup \n\nWhen To Call A Doctor - Let common sense guide you in your choice of treatment, but don't take any chances either. You should consult a physcian if any of these conditions exist: \nif you have any unusually shaped or darkly colored skin growths \nif the wart bleeds, hurts or is unusually large \nif the wart appears after age 45. This may indicate a more serious problem, like skin cancer. \nif the wart does not respond to self-treatment after three months\n\n\nGood Luck

I was going to say "by being very, very naughty", but there's a reason they're called "genital" warts.  But be aware that herpes and other types of STD's can be transmitted from the genitals to other parts of the body.

Genital warts are only spread  with skin to skin contact during anal or vaginal sex so it is not possible to get it from a toilet seat.

Once you get the Genital Warts, they are always with you. You may not have out breaks, but its always there inside your blood, just waiting. Your Dr. can give you an at home cream to use to get rid of the ones on the out side. But not on the inside. The cream that you use is very powerful, and using to much can cause redness, bleeding and pain. Use only as your dr. tells you to.... The ones on the inside have to be frozzen off, or lazered. After the warts are gone, you will always have to watch to make sure that they dont come back a again. Just because you are not having an out break, that doesnt mean you cant still spread it. Cause you CAN! Talk to your Dr.
