Can't Cope With Genital Warts
Posted by: TheOneWithQuestions

Mood: Ok
My life is over, I have genital warts. No one is ever going to date me again. I will never have a boyfriend. I will be single forever. There is no point in carrying on...
I had them three years ago and it cleared up but I could still pass the infection on and there is no way of testing if it is still in my system or not.
I am vile and repulsive and disgusting for having this.
This is horrible, I will forever have this horrifying wretched condition and there is no cure.
Not even condoms protect from it
My life is over and I can't cope. I have been crying for 45 minutes
I think I am a dirty and digesting person. Basically three years ago when I lived in Spain I discovered I had a genital wart and I got it treated and it went away BUT the virus could still stay in my body so I could infect other people. I dunno how I could ever have a relationship or be loved by any one ever again with this hanging round my neck. I was horrified and I had always tried to be careful but it spreads through skin to skin contact. I have been to the sexual health centre this week and they said it is my choice if I tell people who I start a relationship with but morally i couldn't not tell some one. I dunno how i will ever find a boyfriend if I could end up giving him warts. The mindfulness and all the techniques I've used have been working great for my other issues but I don't see the point in using them for this as it will never go away and I am stuck with it for life
Does anybody know any success stories from telling a new partner about genital warts? I need to reignite the hope in my life so that I can get back on track.

Genital warts is not fatal. Your life is not over. It is not the end of your sex life too. About 45% of men have it. And 20% of women too. As of 2014. I'm sure these stats are higher now.

When you tell a new partner about it, you need to educate them on the virus. Since men cannot be tested except via a biopsy of a wart, most men don't know they have it. However, if a person has had 4 or more partners, they probably have it. Basically, you need to persuade partners who think they are clean based on stats and not symptoms. And after 3 years of no warts, for sure you are not infectious now. Yes, you could be infectious some day but that day may never occur.

Good luck and don't lose hope. Here in America, there must be over 100 million people with it and people are still having sex. The odds are good that you will find someone who also has it because this virus is the most common STD in the world.
