Genital wart transmission

[dnyork]

Thanks for taking your time to answer my questions.

I am in a new relationship (3 months) and was recently (last week) diagnosed with HPV warts (from who I don't know).  I told my partner about the warts and she is understanding that she is probably already infected and may have been the infector.  Anyhow, we had unprocted sex prior to my diagnosis. I assume she is already "infected" but she hasn't had any warts to date.  

I have the following questions:

1) Once I get my warts removed, how long must I wait until I can resume having unprotected sex with her?  If she were to develop warts would the same amount of time be required? (I realize I am asking for your opinion - as my research has shown that nobody knows for sure).  We just don't want to keep passing this back and forth forever.

2) In the interim (once visible warts are removed).  Is the risk of getting oral warts high?  (both ways)
3) Also in the interim could we use a condom and avoid full penetration to reduce our risk?  (again once visible warts are removed)
4) Are we correct to assume she is already infected?

Thank you Doctor!

Your gonna have to pay the 15 bucks and post this in the 'Ask a doctor forum' if you want professional advise. This section won't get you answers from the Dr.

1. There currently is no cure for HPV. However, the virus frequently goes away on its own without any treatment, and without causing any problems. The types of HPV that cause genital warts and cervical cancer can be managed, not cured. Genital warts can be treated by removing them, however it does not "cure" the patient.

To get more tips, I suggest you can check out some support site for H people. I know there are thousands of HPV people who can manage it successfully when I did a online survey on htt://www.stdpal.com. Good luck! I think you will be encourage greatly after you checking.
