Genital Warts -- Marriage Posted: 06-09-06 06:45am
I am getting married in about 3 weeks and
I have genital warts. I have had them
for 3 and a half years. I have been
getting treatments off on and during that
time and they are much less than they once
were but still appear. My future spouse
knows about them and has accepted that she
may get them but I cant sleep at night
over it. If she is willing to deal with
this do we not worry about protection and
just accept that we will both have it?
Is it worth us using condoms to prevent
her from having it? What should we do?
I am not worried about her leaving me,
just about her health. The only visible
warts I have ever had treated were on the
shaft and were fairly small, I have never
had a particularly bad case.

Ok so I down anyone is going to respond
anytime soon so I will post an answer for
you all.
I just saw a doctor, got a last minute
appointment today. She said dont sweat
it this is nothing, 50% of america has
this its no big deal, make sure my wife
gets seen once a year for a pap smear and
they treat anything thats she has no
worries. You can have babies normally no
problem, dont worry about protection or
condoms go on with your life its all good.

Mike, I also am getting married soon, and
I know how you feel. I will be marrying
someone who is disease-free, and we have
waited for sex till our wedding.
(obviosly, I had sex in the past)...I
should've waited all along, but I lived
and learned. Anyway, its really hard to
think about giving him an std, but he
knows about it, and its great that you
already told her about it. A husband and
wife should not have to wear condoms all
the time, and besides, condoms dont
protect against crap. Maybe pregnancy,
but thats it. So congrats on the
wedding, and thanks for posting what your
doc said!

Hey thanks for your replys to, nice to
know others out there are dealing with
this too.
We had a big, emotional thing for a few
days over this because I found out about
the new vaccine they just released and I
think it got her hopes up, but I dont
think its going to be accessible anytime
soon. And the doc didnt think it was all
that necessary anyways. I just hope we
arent in that low percentage of people
that end up having complications or
anything....Well her anyway, I am fine.
But the doc said as long as she gets a
yearly pap there is no real problem.
