Hello I am a 20 year old homosexual male. I noticed two genital warts last summer and had them burned off. They grew back within about a month and now I have about 6 or 7 (mostly small). I got them from my boyfriend of 1.5 years who was definitely less chaste then me in highschool (but thats another story for another day). he discovered a few small warts a few months earlier but never got them burned off he would just cover them up during sex with a band aid.. obviously that wasnt good enough.. so..

1) will shaving/trimming/sex/touching the warts spread more warts around the genitals even though its been like +6 months??

2) the PA at my uroligist said that the warts wont go away on their own and that they will keep coming back for the rest of my life. downer. Is this true? Anyone overcome genital warts and been DONE with it???

3) should he be concerned about anal cancer? and oral/penile for the both of us is pretty low risk correct?

4) Do you know if health dept will treat HPV how much??

5) and if vaccines for men are worth it at this point since i already have warts and will insurance cover it/ how much??

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

In most cases the immune system will clear the virus/symptoms within 24 months. Some people have issues longer, some have flare ups over time. Some people never get any symptoms and those who do can range from mild to severe. Serious heath risks are rare and usually the result of someone not getting yearly exams, having immune system issues or other serious health issues, long time smokers/drinkers.

Some people have very small and slow growing warts that don't bother them, other have large and fast growing that can effect bodily functions such as urination and movements. You can wait and see what happens, Google natural methoids for treatment or see a doc for various medical treatments.

So will a wart go away on its own if ignored?? and eventually it all will??

Yes shaving can spread warts, tryin trimming with scissors but be careful.

Yes touching yourself then a sexual partner has a risk of spreading HPV but if you and your partner share the same strains then you can't bounce it back and forth between you.

Masturbation and sex might cause some spreading I guess, but how much can you give up in life?

As long as warts are present they are contagious.

Once you have a strain of HPV you do have it the rest of your life but many people never have symptoms and those who do will pass them via the immune system within 2 years. Some people do have flare ups but that isn't common. Factors such as a low immune system or other health issues are factors.

Same with cancers, they are rare and usually are along side other health issues. It is important to get yearly exams. Women are at higher risk for cell changes than men.

You will need to check with your local clinic, mine doesn't.

Check with your insurance about the vac, there is a number on the card to call. Also check with your doc, it might help protect you from any strains you might not already have. I don't know the costs.
