One more thing: If you smoke cigarettes, now is a good time to stop. They are known to cause more warts. If you cannot quit on your own, get a patch or pills. You may also want to reduce your alcohol consumption especially of ales/beer and hard liquor. Basically, anything that is bad for you will make it more difficult for your body to recover its health and fight this virus. Just try to remain upbeat and dedicate yourself to recovery and staying healthy. Stress is bad for recovery and exercise and meditation can reduce stress. Sex should be the last thing on your mind now even though it reduces stress. The most important thing is recovery!
Do not worry. Genital warts are low risk strains of this virus. 80% of sexually active people have it or has been exposed to it. Go see a dermatologist asap and have one of them removed and biopsied. Get a prescription for a lotion to remove them or the doctor may just freeze them off. Do not have more sex until the warts are gone for at least 3 months. Your body needs to heal from this infection. If you must have sex during the recovery period, wear a condom as latex condoms prevent more warts.
Assuming they are genital warts, your GF has it too. She should go to a GYN and get tested for HPV. Should you both be diagnosed with it, then my other advice to you is to stay with your GF for the rest of your life. She and you share the same strains and you two can have all of the unsafe sex you want post-recovery (no warts). You cannot re-infect each other.
For most people, this is a transient issue and it rarely leads to serious illness. Boost your immune system via vitamins, exercise, etc. This virus stays in your body forever but it does become dormant for most people which means you won't be infectious forever. But it also means that you may get more warts years or decades from now. No one really can predict the future.Good luck!
