How do you groom yourself down "there" if you have HPV?

How do you groom yourself down "there" if you have HPV?  I've shaved with a BIC razor before and it has broken out because of it.  I'm really trying to keep my immune system strong to eliminate this virus and it's really been tough.  Had symptoms for 2 years now.

the Aldara does get rid of the warts at the time but they come back or outbreak, not at the same spot, but they still come back every so often

You might try getting them frozen.  Since you clearly aren't responding to Aldara, it might be a better option for you.  

Ask your doctor about it or visit an std clinic.

Yes it was diagnosed as HPV. I got it September '06 from a lousy, drunken one-night stand.  Biggest mistake of my life.  I did not know I had it and I started dating a girl months after that and the warts started to appear more and more; freaked the **** outta me.  I have used Aldara and it works but I'm running out of it and I'm just so frustrated.  I feel inhuman because of it.  I just beg it goes away for good or a vaccine is developed to kill it.

Have you had this diagnosed as HPV?  2 years is a long time to have symptoms.  You should see your doctor or go to a clinic and get diagnosed if you haven't, or get some treatment for it.

I just want to be able to eliminate the mass of pubic hair without causing warts to arise.  I have used shaving cream to cover it and then shave it off and it still causes warts.  It's really a horrible virus to have.

I wouldn't use a BIC razor anywhere. I'm not real sure what you mean about grooming (I'm new to all this forum stuff) but for a bikini line legs or under arms a more expensive razor is far less likely to leave bumps. (That is just my experience and lots of people use cheap razors for all body areas)
