Genital Warts Putting An End to My Sex Life? Posted: 07-08-07 21:45pm
Hi
I realised yesterday that I had developed
what appeared to be genital warts, had
them checked today and have been
diagnosed. Because they are only small the
Dr has said it is up to me whether I get
treatment, as they are likely to clear up
by themselves with time. My question is
this: In a months time I am traveling from
New Zealand to the United States for my
big OE. Like any young man, I was hoping
for this trip to filled with romance and
beautiful women. If I get rid of the the
warts and use a condom, is it reasonable
for me to have sex? Is this usual for
people with HPV? Or do I need to tell any
potential sexual partner for the rest of
my life that I have this condition? A
pretty grim prospect.
Any advice/help with this would be really
really appreciated.
Cheers.

You should always tell potential partners
before anything goes on. Condoms help
protect your partner from STDs, but they
are not 100% effective.
