I have been diagnosed with genital warts and am wandering how much skin is affected by this? For example, if I have just a couple in one tiny area inside vagina, is only that skin affected? Would someone need direct contacts with the warts to catch them from me?
The reason I ask is after a few drinks with a male friend, he gave me a back massage. I still had my jeans on but he pulled them down a bit at the back to expose the top half of my butt and included that in the massage. I guess there is also a chance he briefly put his penisCancer - penis Curvature of the penis Penis care (uncircumcised) Penis pain against my butt too, but I'm not sure.
Is there any chance he could catch my genital warts from this type of contact, for example if he then touched himself?
