can my son catch hpv(genital warts) from me or his dad? I think i may have genital warts... I have an appointment feb,11th. I am so scared, I have a family, my son will be 3 in Feb. and me and the Father have been together for 2 almost 3 years now. He shows no symptoms of warts what so ever. I am just so scared how this will affect my life with him or my son for that matter. I wanted another baby but now i do not want to take the chance of spreading it. What happens if i do have this and he does not? Feb. 11th is way too far away right now. And the father keeps asking me what are we going to do if you do have it... i mean really like i know i have never had an std in my life and now i may have one that will be with me till i die!!!! Someone please help. i can not sleep i am so worried i am going to loose my family mainly my son!!! also i have had 2 paps and one came back normal the other came as i had a yest... could i still have it...

genital warts are considered a sexually transmitted infection because it takes the intimate contact or sex to transmit them. washing your hands after using the bathroom or touching yourself intimately is all you have to do to protect others.  

you can still have more children too. external warts are just a cosmetic issue for the most part and are easily removed/treated.  

have you or your partner had your gardasil shots at all?
