what are the chances?

Hello all,

If anyone knows, what are the chances of getting warts a year after protected sex with csw? High? Low? Mid?

Thanks

If you have not had any warts 12-19 months after the encounter, then you may not be infectious now. This does not mean you didn't get infected. Men cannot be tested and the absence of warts does not mean anything. Some warts are not visible to the naked eye. And as I wrote earlier, the high risk strains do not cause warts.

Safe sex is not that safe against herpes or HPV since these are genital skin diseases and condoms don't cover much genital skin. The mutual masterbation is very safe unless you and the CSW masterbated each other. That is a very low but not zero risk. The CDC says the only safe sex is no sex. They also say that a monogamous relationship that lasts forever is always going to be your best bet against getting exposed to a STD.

Your partner (assuming its a female) should get tested as often as her medical insurance allows. All women should get tested if they are sexually active. Even if she someday gets a positive result doesn't mean you gave it to her. For some reason, women can go years with negative results and suddenly get a positive result. Their first reaction is to think their current partner infected them but that may not be true. It could have happened to a woman years/decades ago but the odds are always better it is from a recent (4-6 months) encounter. No one can play detective and point to one sex act or one sex partner and say that it caused the virus. However, CSWs are high risk sex partners because they sleep with many men. And if they are bi-sexual, the "other partner" probably did not wear a female condom.

Getting tested when you establish a committed serious relationship is usually recommended. Whether you admit your sexual past is up to you and is generally not recommended. Anyway, always assume you are not infected without a diagnose but do not assume that you could not have been exposed to it. Statistically it is alway possible.

Also, my partner hasn't developed any either being

PS: I have never had warts in my life up to this point.

Thanks for your answer,

I have yet a last question.

Last year and two years ago I visited csw frequently, including unprotected 19 months ago, the last time I visited a csw was 12 months ago, this year I slipped and had an episode of mutual masturbation with one but no skin to skin contact so I guess I wasn't at risk for that one?

My worry at this point is that one morning I will develop them since I have a partner now it will expose a lot of things.

When you say 12-19 months is good enough you think if they were going to appear they had appeared by now? In other words can I forget about this?

One cannot be cleared until one is diagosed as infected. Without visible signs (warts), you may not have one of the low risk strains but this does not mean you don't have a low risk strain. The high risk strains do not come with warts and you won't ever know. The 12-19 months wart-free is a good sign that you didn't get infected by these encounters. Not everyone gets infected after one or two sex encounters.

CSWs usually do not have STD as it is bad for business but statistically how can they not have it?  Safe sex with someone who has had hundreds of partners is very risky. At some point, your luck may run out.

I know all we can do is guess here but,

I had unprotected sex 19 months no warts, protected sex 12 months ago, no warts,

Can I consider myself in the clear or not quite?

What do you recommend me to do?

Thanks
