Genital Warts.

Question

I have a genital wart outbreak round my anal region, recently i have received oral sex from a very good friend of mine. He asked if he was at risk of getting anything, i told him as far as im concerned no, since i didnt let him near the effected area, like back there is off limits to anyone since thats where the outbreak is, not in the front. Am i wrong? (i REALLY hope im not). 

Also, i know i keep asking this...and the answers i keep getting are "eat healthy, drink water, exercise, keep stress level down, etc etc" but thats all to keep outbreaks at bay. I would like to know if theres anything that i can do to get rid of the outbreak i have now...the insurance that i have makes it difficult to go in for another surgery. Just as well, my mom doesnt know i have genital warts (As far as i am concerned), i lied to her by saying i had a hemorrhoid the first time. Do over the counter wart removers (like the ones i see on tv) work on ALL kinda works? Do I absolutly HAVE to go to the doctors to get them removed? I read in another post that continuous outbreaks, eveb after the first was exterminated is common...i just dont have the ideal situation for that :(. Can anyone slip me some good advice?

Yes, you have to go to the doctor for treament and yes, most likely you will have to go back at least once and perhaps every couple months or so for about a year.  Each infection runs its own course though so just work on being cool with it and it will pass and in the rear view mirror before too long.  The advice for the immune system is pertinent for warts you have present, if you don't seek treatment.  The better your immune system the quicker your body will attack and remove the warts you do have.  Quantifying that statement is next to impossible however.  Drinking water may be one of the single best things you can do as it's amazing how much water our bodies will hold.  Refraining from regular drinking is also good I'd imagine.  

See you doctor for sure.  There may be some special concerns with anal warts that I don't know about.  You should also peruse this forum or the "Ask An Expert -STDs" forum for anal wart info just to be sure you are up on the issues.

kld44 is right.  You should make it a priority to go to the doctor.  Go now and every time you have any.

Being healthy will help, but probably won't get rid of your warts completely...you will need to see a doc at somepoint.

Like Vandyk said, lots of water, don't smoke, don't drink, maybe take a multi vitamin, get lots of rest. :)

So pretty much just boat my immune system like...A LOT, to get rid of the warts i have, since im not really able to get to a doc for the actual surgery. This may sounds stupid...but...what are good ways to really boost my immune system?

I'll be sure to contact an expert...

of course, if you have the warts removed then being healthy is moot for that but will still be an excellent choice for limiting the duration of outbreaks hopefully

Yea i kinda figured...but it was wishful thinking i guess lol. At this moment i will take anything (not in a literal sense, but you get what im saying). I just dont have the room or finances to get another surgery, and a topical treatment would def help out :( if there is one available..

First off, DON'T use the stuff that you see on TV...it won't work for genital warts. The warts you get on your hands and feet are completely different strains than genital warts. There are health care clinics around that could give you exams and maybe prescribe something for a more affordable price...but I'm not totally sure on this.
