Worry wart
My boyfriend has what we think is gential warts... three small skin-tone growths on the shaft of his penis, two of which are stuck together. When there was just one growth, he said it was just a skin tab (which he does have on other parts of his body), but then the other two showed up. Even though we are faithful condom users, we have had a couple slip ups and had unprotected sex. I'm assuming that I have it even though I have no symptoms, but I would like to remain as safe as possible...
What are the do's and don'ts about having relations with someone who has genital warts?
Is it possible that I don't have it?
If we keep having sex does it increase the likelihood of warts appearing on me?
Should I avoid having sex with him? :-(
Would it be horrible to have sex with out a condom again?
Anyone have any answers for me???

thank you for the information.. greatly appreciated!
(Keep in mind these answers are for if he DOES have genital warts. If he doesn't, none of these apply.)
Is it possible that I don't have it? If he has strains 6 or 11 (the most common and what Guardasil protects you against), you don't have it. If he has strains other than, you probably do.
If we keep having sex does it increase the likelihood of warts appearing on me? Only if he has strains other than 6 or 11 (you were vaccinated against these).
Should I avoid having sex with him? Your call, I would consult a doctor about this. Judging by your prior post, you already seem to have made up your mind about not stopping sex with him.
Would it be horrible to have sex with out a condom again? I would avoid condomless sex altogether. But, I don't condone intercourse without condoms ever. This is your choice.
The bottom line is he needs to get to a doctor to find out if these even are warts. In the case they are, you need to keep an eye on yourself and see if they appear on you. In the meantime, try not to worry.

"not a lot of information, but at least i tried!! most people dont even do that much, i know because noone ever responds to my posts."
I've responded to your posts. I haven't gotten to your one post today yet, but it's brand new. Keep in mind we're all volunteers here, no one is a paid or assigned employee. Frankly, I'm insulted that you would say we don't do much here, I've devoted endless hours of my time giving information.

how is it possible for a young couple totally into each other and living together to abstain from sex?
wish i knew, honestly, drive him to plan parenthood and get checked out for close to free. i know it takes 3-12 months for HPV to start forming warts. i wouldnt say you are ******, but i might abstain from sex until your mind is more at ease (i know how it can get). i dont know much about guardasil, another reason to ask someone who really knows their stuff--all of us on here are in the same boat (or were in the same boat) as you!

good luck, and for real, it could be a lot worse than hpv...it will be a distant memory someday (so im told, so i hope). ciao.

I forgot to mention that a year ago I finished taking the gaurdasil vaccine.
