Just Found Out I Have Genital Warts.. Am I Screwed? :( Posted: 10-15-07 13:58pm
Hey guys.. I'm a 25 year old male who has
only been with two people in my whole
life. ANYWAY, I just found out my last g/f
that cheated on me has given me bad
genital warts. I had to pay $100 to find
that out.. now they want me to see a
Dermotogist.. Is this neccessary? Can this
be cured or is it always going to be
possible to infect others? Will I ever be
able to have unprotected sex if I wanted a
child in the future? I can't afford
this... pretty depressing too Thanks for any
answers..

Well, here's the good news. You're a male,
so you don't have to worry about the risk
of cervical cancer!!
Really sorry about your xgf. That's awful.
You will need to see a dermatologist to
get the actual warts treated. Genital
warts are caused by the hpv virus, and the
hpv virus will never go away. So, you will
always have to have protected sex with
your partners, or you risk giving them
hpv, which in women can cause cervical
cancer. However, your warts will go away.
They might come back from time to time.
But the virus will never go away.
If you get into a long term stable
relationship (or are trying to get a woman
pregnant), there are medications that you
can take to avoid spreading it to your
partner. But otherwise, you need to stay
protected. But really, you should've been
doing that anyway, so it's not so bad!!
Good luck.

You should go to the doctor and find out
your options. It is most definitely
possible to infect others, even with
condoms.
After you've gone to the doctor and
listened to your options, you might also
like to check out herpes.com (yeah, i
know, different disease) as they have
products reviewed that supposedly work for
genital warts. They also have chat so you
can probably ask about the products'
efficacy.

Aww man this is pretty bad sounding. Your
right though, atleast I don't have the
risk of cancer. Thanks for the info guys,
I appreciate it. I'll go to the
dermatologist for sure. I can't believe
that girl was such a sl** :\ Dark clouds
over me today...

Just to Let You Know... Posted: 10-28-07 19:55pm
70% of the population will contract HPV at
some point in their life. You should read
up on this.
Seems you are not educated enough on this
topic.
Calling your ex a promiscuous person is
immature.
You could have got this from your other
ex.
The virus can stay dormant for years, and
then SURPRISE.
Seriously, educate yourself on this.
