Sorry to tell you, there is no cure for
hpv (genital warts). You can get the
actual warts removed which may go away by
themselves, may reappear after removal,
and may go away for ever. But because
this infection is viral not bacterial, it
cannot be cured. Even though you get rid
of the warts you still have the infection
in your body. This will not be harmful
for you, but if it is given to a woman,
and she contracts hpv, she could at worst
get cervical cancer. There are many
different strains of the infection. Some
show warts and some don't. Some make the
cervical cells cancerous and some won't.
The best thing you can do is simply be
honest with any woman in the future and
use protection. As long as you do the
virus will remain with you only. Any
unprotected (as you know) sex and even
unprotected oral sex will spread the
virus. Being a woman, I would like to
know upfront and if I really cared for the
man as long as I know we could be careful
and protected I would remain with him. I
have a good friend that has genital
herpes. He is honest with every single
woman that he is with. He has had some
awesome relationships also. So if you
find the right woman, who loves you for
you, no std can stand in the way.
