Can you catch HPV warts if you are a virgin? Most people think that the answer to this question is no but they are wrong. If you have HPV warts and you they come in contact with the genitals of your partner, they could also get the infection. Similarly, HPV warts can appear in your mouth or throat if you engage in oral sex with an infected partner.
Will treatment banish HPV Warts for good? Unfortunately you can not get rid of HPV warts forever. The underlying virus does not go away so your warts may come back even after treatment.
Is it possible to have the HPV Virus without any signs of genital warts? Yes, you could have contracted the HPV Virus and no warts have yet appeared. They could still appear in the future. In females this may be picked up if you have a couple of abnormal smear results.
Are there any home treatments available or do you have to get them on prescription? Treatments can be delivered directly to your home. Personally I would look out for the best known brands and only use homeopathic remedies as all their ingredients are completely natural. At least then I would know I'm not using any unknown chemicals. Wartrol is perhaps the most popular of the home treatments for HPV warts.
I've just been diagnosed with HPV warts, is it worth getting checked for any other sexually transmitted diseases? You could easily have picked up another infection if you have been having unprotected sex.
Please don't be embarrassed to seek help either from a doctor, nurse or STD clinic - you have no idea how many people are in exactly the same position as you right now! Don't hang about, get some treatment as soon as you can. It will definitely make you feel better.
The other very important thing that you have to do is practice safe sex from now on. Think how you felt when you found out you have the infection? You really don't want to pass it on to someone else. It is not true that there is only a slim chance of you passing the infection on. By having unprotected sex there is a 70% likelihood that you will pass HPV warts to your partner - it is just not worth taking the chance.
