I've been with my girlfriend for four
months and like her a lot. She told me,
after having intercourse, that she had
genital warts. We've been sexually
active for about 4 months. Only in the
past week have I noticed small bumps
inside her, and there has never been
anything external. We've always used a
condom (every time!). Can I only get the
infection if we have intercourse while she
actually has the bumps inside her, or at
anytime? And will the condom matter at
that point? We plan on being together
for a long time, so is it inevitable that
I will get it?
More background info. She has had them
for what I would approximate 1 year. She
says that she had external ones at first,
but got rid of them. She has not seen
anymore since. Is this a good sign, or
is it only a matter of time before they
come back for her?

from what i've learned about genital
warts, the hpv virus is always in an
infected person, and never goes away.
More warts may return at any time. Also,
has your girlfriend been to a doctor about
her warts? Internal and external genital
warts are different. Internal warts can
lead to cervical cancer, as it changes the
cells in the cervix. Therefore, regular
checkups are necessary to monitor any
changes to the cervix. Hope this helps.
