warts questions

Tags: warts, anal
hi,
33yo, man here.
Several questions:
Will anal warts eventually clear without treatment?
Are there any serious health risks in forgoing treatment of anal warts?
How uncommon are anal warts in heterosexual men who do not engage in anal sex?
Should the instance of warts in a 7 yr. Relationship indicate infidelity?

Thanks for your help!

sometimes they can clear minus treatment.....depends on how healthy ur immune system is and if u have multiple partners that also have low risk HPV......there are no serious health risks i've read about if 4going treatment of anal warts....it is common for warts to appear in the anal area even if u do not engage in anal sex....the doctors in this forum have stated that with a healthy immune system warts should clear up with treatment in 6-18 mos.maximum.....this means virus no longer in skin.the virus then stores in ur body..like it is sleeping.There are those in this forum that have posted that their warts have appeared out of nowhere and they swear no infidelity.I do not buy this based on what Drs.Hook and Handsfield have stated here.....but ppl will believe what they want despite medically posted research data!
