Q: Genital Warts
asked by: AFCA410 on February 10th, 2009

I am a 22 year old male, and recently found out i have genital warts. I feel like my sex life is over, because i feel like no woman will accept me now because of it. This makes me very sad , because eventually i wanted to settle down and have a family and all that good stuff. Yesterday my doctor did the freezing proccess on the warts, and he told me 80% of the time they don't come back and 20% of the time they do. So far i don't see any results. He told me to come back in 10 days. If they don't go away, or if they do go away but eventually come back, what would be the best way for them to go away? I am glad that they are not big and nasty looking, like you would see on google.com, and im also glad that they are on the lower part of my shaft and not anywhere more sensitive like the penis head. Anyway could someone please give me some advice on everything i just talked about? I have been feeling depressed about my situation. If i find a nice girl, and things get serious and we both want to get intimate, i would have to tell her...and i'm pretty sure no woman would want to sleep with someone that has an STD.

First, stop stressing.
It will affect your immune system, and its response to HPV infection.
Try to boost your immune system with supplements, cause it can help you gradually to develop effective immune response (70% of new HPV infections clear within one year, and as many as 91% clear within two years).
Before being intimate with a girl, you'll must inform her about your genital warts infection.
She may be already protect against this infection or she'll do that before being sexually active with you.
There is a vaccine Gardasil that protects from HPV types 6 and 11 that cause genital warts, and types 16 and 18 that cause cervical cancer in women.
It is important to be given before exposure to the virus types in order to be effective.
Remember, that condoms don't guarantee complete protection from HPV infection (it can be passed through oral, vaginal and anal sex).

Best wishes!
