Hi, I recently contracted genital warts
much to my dissmay as I was previously
disease free.
I'm pretty sure my previous girlfriend
gave it to me however i'm not completely
sure.
My first relationship lasted for 8 years
and ended about a year and a half ago.
About 5 years ago I had an affair (only
once) with another women.
I started sleeping with a girl about 8
months ago (we just broke up a week ago),
2 months ago I developed lumps on my
penis, I went to the doctors a few days
ago and he said they are warts and I have
to use some cream to get rid of them.
Is it possible for the warts to have been
dormant in my system since my affair 5
years ago?

I'm not 100% sure if the warts virus can
lie dormant for 5 yrs, but they can lie
dormant for a while. I certainly know
that it can be really difficult when
trying to find out as to whom u contracted
them from. (whether u sleep around or
not). I am sure however that the person
who gave them to you will av had an
outbreak of warts. All in all, as long as
they r now gone, don't worry urself too
much as to who u caught them from. I had
an outbreak about 6 months ago, but it had
been 5 months previous when I had
unprotected sex. So for all I know, I
had contracted them before this time.
Maybe not much help, but try not to worry
about it now.
