Does the Occurence of Warts Mean You Have a Weakened Immune System and/or HIV

Doctor I read information (perhaps) misinformation that men who have HPV almost always never show symptoms. Therefore, it is believed that men who develop anal warts or genital warts are men who have weakened immune systems and/or men who are infected with the HIV virus? How true or untrue is this information. If men who have warts contracted them because of a weakened immune system, and are not are HIV positive, what could cause their immune system not function as it should. Is it a serious health risk?

Having HPV DOESN'T mean that you have HIV!!! ANYONE WHO GETS LOW RISK  HPV CAN HAVE SYMPTOMS OF WARTS..EVEN IN THE ANAL AREA W/O HAVING ANAL SEX!!! Your immune system USUALLY suppresses/"clears" the the virus from 6 months to 2yrs by itself..a weakened immune system can happen if your excessively tired/poor diet/smoking/drinking/stressed..low risk is not a serious health risk but can be annoying/embarassing..so the best way o fight it is try to keep your body /immune system healthy...
