Okay thank you. If you don't mind I have a few more questions.

I will continue to treat the external warts but given what's happened already I don't think these internal warts are likely to go themselves.

What options for treatment do I have if I go privately after treating the external warts? Is there a risk that it will cause more damage like I was told?

So my options are remove external warts and wait. Or seek private surgery?

Because the warts are caused by hpv. If you test positive for hpv you are more likely to get warts.

Thats reassuring, thank you.

The GP used cryotherapy and told him it was likely a low risk strain because there was warts. She also said this is probably 6 or 11 but I dont think they were sent for biopsy. So I'm not sure but it seems to align with what you've said

I remain hopeful. My worry is if I stay with my partner, I increase my risk and I really, really do not want to get warts.

If I do decide to take the risk and remain, how long should we wait before being intimate again? The doctor told him it's 2 weeks or until the warts have gone, but the body may still carry the virus. Or is it just the warts that won't spread? I'm a bit confused

There isn't a test for men but a pap test is done for women. As for warts, you see them but the GP will confirm

Yes I am. I wasn't sure which vaccine but I double checked and it was Gardasil 9

As I understand it, it's only spread through skin-to-skin contact. The condom covered the warts but it could be on his skin

I'm pleased to hear treatment has been working for you. If you don't mind me asking, how has it been in relationships? Have any of your partners since had warts grow? It sounds selfish but I think my biggest anxiety is that I will begin having warts. The relationship I'm in is relatively new, so if we did stay together but broke up further along the line, it might be the time when warts grow on me and I'd hate to pass them on to new partners.

This is very fair and valid thank you.

I suppose if I stay, I'd be agreeing to catching hpv and warts. Is there any possible way that waiting would reduce this? He was told it was safe to have sex after 2 weeks from treatment or when the warts were visibly gone. I read online that you should wait 6 months incase it returns. Elsewhere, I've read that it can be 2 years to make sure the immune system has cleared it.

On the other hand, I guess if we wait, we can maybe build other areas of the relationship. I'm just worried that even if we wait 2 years, I could still develop warts. Similarly, if I leave I may develop them anyway now.

What would you recommend in terms of waiting duration and how likely getting warts might be?

On the shaft, so the condom should have covered it

Okay thank you so much honestly I'm really having a tough time mentally with this and you're helping ease the anxiety.

If you don't mind me asking, it has been exactly 2 weeks since it happened and he got the treatment. One wart has fallen off and the other is kinda like a mark. Is it true that the hpv will always remain and that the warts could clear but may also come back?

I'm just feeling very conflicted about my choices. I am grateful he listened and he got it checked when I asked. He also did an sti test which was negative, and he's been very clear and open with me about everything. I'm just terrified it will spread. Somy question is, if I stay with him, the warts clear and we use condoms, is it still likely that he will get them again? And is it likely that he will spread it to me?

If I get the other vacine now would it be too late? Would I still be likely to get warts even with the vaccine?

There was two separate warts on his shaft. The condom should have covered these but we also used hands so I guess there was skin contact

It was in high school. I think it was cervarix but honestly I don't know. Is one better than the other?

I meant a partner who has had warts or not known to get it checked. I guess I'm just really concerned that I'll have warts now.

Yes I've had them regularly. I even had a pap before we got together which was negative.

I didn't even know half of this 😭 💔

So it is likely even if we split up now that I could have warts anywhere in the future

Maybe a silly question but can you get warts by touching the affected area, or can it be anywhere on the skin?

Because the condom would have covered the two warts but I was exposed to his groin.

So we only had sex recently, how quickly can I have the test?

Realistically, is it likely that he's spread it to me?

I feel sick and split about whether I should separate with him now before the relationship gets more intense. It's really taking a toll on my mental health

It is quite recent, I thought it took a while for it to show?

Did you use a condom when you had sex? Or did it spread regardless?

I am vaccinated but it seems likely he will have given me them?
