How are warts transmitted?
Posted: 03-28-08 17:46pm

I have a friend that has genital warts and I just wasn't sure how worried I need to be. Is it possible I could get it from using the toilet after her? I don't nkow if I am being paranoid.

NO.

Genital warts come from sex. IT is HPV, the same virus that also causes cervical cancer and cervical dysplasia.

You do NOT have to have warts on your body to spread them to other people. Once you have HPV, you will have it forever.
