Crying or Very sad ok so i saw one of your messages to someone and you seem well eduacated on the situation... i have been told today at planned parenthood that i have warts... from what they made me believe --i will NEVER get rid of this, does this mean i will always have break outs unexpectidly, is it true that i can get a LEEP and have the warts physically burned off and then ill be better? im so scared... do you think that a guy i want to be with will judge me and not want to be with me.. do you know if i leep hurts? im sorry im asking so many questions im just so concerned and they kinda rushed me today--i just need some answers ive been crying all day... also i cant tell my parents because theyre psycho and will go crazy on me if i do tell them... so i dont know how to go about going to the gyno or using the insurance card to cure anything....... please respond Sad

Genital warts are caused by HPV. There is no cure for HPV. Sometimes, after years of having HPV, the body just seems to fight it off one day, but you shouldn't necessarily count on that happening either.

You can have the warts removed, but you will still have HPV. You will still be able to give HPV to any partners you have, and you still may break out in warts in the future.

I have never had LEEP, but I think it might hurt a bit. I have heard that people may take one to three days before they can resume most daily activities, but they may have to wait one to three weeks before having sex again.

As far as having futures partners, I would suggest always using a condom. Condoms reduce the chances of passing on HPV, but they certainly do not eliminate it. So you should always tell potential partners about your HPV before doing anything sexual with them.

If a guy has a problem with it, let him go. Warts aren't uncommon, so you might even be able to find a partner who also has them! There are even dating sites for people with various STDs so that they have a place to meet people, be up front and honest about their STD, and not have to worry about infecting anyone else.

Did Planned Parenthood say that they would help you get LEEP or anything else?
