Here is the story...me and my boyfriend
have been together for two years
monogamously. When our relationship first
started he got warts on his penis which we
thought were nothing, until i read about
genital warts. He went to the doctor and
she confirmed it. We have been and still
continue to have unprotected sex. I am
going to the doctor myself. But what
should i do now? Should we use condoms? Am
i infected probably? Can it hurt my future
babies??? I need all the advice you
got...
I should add he did not have these warts
to begin with...they developed shortly
after we got together.

He probably did have them to begin with,
actually. They can hide for a while and
show up at random times. You need to start
using protection and see the doc because
you will get HPV from him... if you don't
have it already, go get the vaccination.
HPV is a virus- certain strains of it
cause genital warts, and certain strains
of it cause cervical cancer in women.
If you see your doctor now and make sure
you get tested and taken care of, there
are medications you can take to prevent
yourself from catching it from him. If
you take control now, you probably won't
experience any serious side effects
(including fertility or cancer).
Use protection, and do NOT have sex with
him while he has warts, even when you're
using protection.
