Hi Drifter,
How we're yours burned off, through electrocautery? or do you mean freezing?
Have you had any outbreaks since?
Warts are the low risk strain that rarely leads to cancer. This is just a transient skin disease that 75-85% of sexually active adults have. Just ask the doctor to biopsy one of the warts and to let you know the strain number. Boost your immune system via healthy living (no cigs, less booze, daily exercise, healthy foods, vitamines (A, C, E, folic acid, Zinc, etc). After 6-24 months of no more warts, you can have sex again. To be safer, condoms will reduce the chances of re-occurrences.
it is true there are multiple strains of HPV i had this too i saw a dermatologist for the warts which were normal warts he burned them off and told me i can have sex in two months i was confused and in a lot of pain because i had one on my testicle. HPV stayed with me for 2 years :)
