Genital Warts

I have been seeing a man who I may consider having a sexual relationship with,however he tells
me that his previos partner from six months ago had genital warts.  I know its the HPV virus and was wondering
what the chances are of him spreading it to me.  Also can this be spread via oral sex?

Does the man have visible genital warts? if not than chances are quite low that you'll contract these from him... Condoms do not fully protect you from getting the virus, major reason being that the whole genital area is not covered with the condoms... hpv is a skin virus that spreads through skin to skin contact... have you considered getting vaccinated with gardisil?
