Genital Warts Question Please Help.
Hi,
I am a 28 year old male living in Canada. I got genital warts in 2015, about 2-3 genital warts they were frozen off with liquid nitrogen right away. The warts grew back 5-6 times after in almost the same areas and I was treated each time freezing them off. After the 6th session freezing them off they never came back and my dermatologist advised I could considered myself cured.
I was relieved because this had been a devastating part of my life, however sadly after 2 years another wart had popped up in 2017, after 2 years!?! Expert advise on medhelp indicated after 2 years your immune system suppressed the virus and you'll never see warts again.
So I just had the wart frozen again November 2, 2017, I really want to know this... is it over for me to have this go away for good since it came back after so long? Please answer my following concerns/questions:
1. because it came back after 2 years does it mean my body will never suppress the warts?
2. should I keep hope that if the warts don't come back in 3 months I can considered myself so called re-cured?
3. in how long can i have unprotected sex? can i ever allow a woman to perform oral on me without putting her at risk? what does this mean for my sex life?
4. Please help me, why did it come back after all this time can I put hope on it going away for good yet again?
5. IMPORTANT QUESTION, how can I ever know if there are other tiny MICROSCOPIC genital warts? my dermatologist only freezes what I tell him to do, he never EVER looked in detail by himself? how do I know if there are tiny warts that we miss?
6. what can I do to get rid of this for GOOD? I mean the freezing worked for 2 years than BAM it came back again... is there anything else I should do? maybe get Aldara cream? or put acid on it? what are my options here is there still hope yet AGAIN that it go away for good?
7. Does this mean who ever I have sex with is going to possible get cancer from me in the future when they are in their 50's or 60's?!?
This has worked me up and I feel awful, I feel so unlucky. I dont want to ever pass this on, please advise on my questions.

Hi, I've had genital warts for at least 8 years. I've had to have them frozen off three times in that period. Some people get lucky and they never come back, and sometimes they come back right away or in my case about every 3 years a few pop back up.
1. Most (90% of the people who are infected) never get more warts. No one knows who will be in this 90%. Some think a weakened immune system can cause more warts. Tobacco use has been proven to cause more warts. So has un-safe sex during the recovery period. Try living a healthier life: eat healthy foods, no cigs, lots of rest, exercise, meditation, vitamins, reduced stress, etc. That may result in no more warts as it gives your body a chance to fight the virus.
2. There is no cure. One can become "cleared" which means the virus is at such low levels, that you are not infectious. The virus remains in the body forever.
3. No sex (safe or unsafe) for at least 3-6 months after the warts are all gone. Un-safe sex is always going to be risky but if there are no warts, then there is less of chance you are infectious. You have to understand that HPV is the common cold of STDs. 8 out of 10 sexually active adults have it from oral sex and genital sex. Neither is safe. There is no such thing as safe sex. This was a myth.
4. Some people think a re-occurrence has to do with a weakened immune system. The medical community does not agree with this theory but some of us do.
5. No one knows if they have tiny warts under the skin. It is assumed that most people have them all over the genital skin (thighs, buttocks, scrotum, penis, vagina, etc).
6. As written above, lead a super healthy life. No stress. More rest. Vitamiins and supplements. Exercise. No booze or reduced booze. Avoid colds. No cigs. No 420. Healthy foods that are good for diets.
7. The warts are the low risk for cancer strains. Which means that your partners will not get cancer from this however women can get tested every year and pre-cancerous cells can be removed.
Your sex life is not the most important thing right now. Your recovery (no warts) comes first. Then things should return to normal. Should you tell a future partner about your genital warts is up to you. Most do not tell because it is assumed that most people have it. The CDC says if you have had 4 ore more partners in your life, you have been exposed to it. Most people have had more than 4 partners.
The best thing of all is to find someone who has the same strains or also has had warts. This isn't going to kill you or your partners. Good luck and realize that most of us were just like you and now we've moved past the shock and are leading happy lives.

This has the best and most assuring answer I have read. I just found out I am HPV + last Sep. I had also undergone cauterization of my warts. but after a week it came back. i took the HPV vaccine ( Gardasil) and keep my fingers crossed as it may help in removing warts. I think living a healthy lifestyle (which is kinda impossible knowing u have HPV) and staying away from stress is the only hope we have. we are unlucky to have this but we need to fight this stupid virus.
As for the part of "The best thing of all is to find someone who has the same strains or also has had warts" - I really dont think this issue can be easily raised w ur partner knowing he/she might not be ur last. makes me sad tho :(

You are asking a lot of good questions. I will reply to every one of them tonite. Just understand that the term "cured" doesn't make sense with HPV. I will explain later.

can we let a woman perform oral sex on us in the future when warts aren't seen for 3-4 months? not saying I will but just want to know? can I never have women perform oral again for risk giving warts in throat? which can be deadly?!?
