Can a person with Genital warts ever have un-protected sex again?


Issue
About three years ago, I contacted Genital Warts. I was not told of her condition at the time. I have had all warts removed, and keep up with the ones that re-appear every now and then. Since there is really no test for a man to tell weather or not you have them cellular, I am unaware of that possibility. If I keep myself clear of a visible warts, am I still contagious? Also, I have met a wonderful woman, and she accepts my problem, and we use protection everytime. So far she has not contacted the virus. We would really like to have a baby, but to do this, we would have to have unprotected sex. What are the chances of her contacting the HPV, and also, what are the chances of the baby having HPV? Or are we never going to be able to have a child together? This virus is very confusing with so many different versions of how it can be transmitted. I just would rather be safe than sorry, and I would never want to put her or the babies life in jeopardy.

Best Tip
You know there is a new vaccine available for HPV. The vaccine is called Gardasil and is made by Merck and Co. It protects against 4 different kinds of HPV. 2 kinds are known to cause about 70% of cervical cancer and the other 2 kinds cause about 90% of genital warts. I've heard it has so far had great results! Maybe you and her should look into her getting this vaccine.

Even if you don't have any warts present you can STILL pass the virus to her. You might have even been able to get rid of the virus. Many people actually get rid of it all on their own. But, since there is no test for men, it's basically impossible to know if you still have it or not.

Since a couple obviously needs to have unprotected sex to have a baby there is always a chance she can catch it from you. As far as her passing HPV to the baby - it's REALLY rare. During pregnancy HPV can make warts grow faster and bigger, but that's pretty much all it does. Chances of the baby being born with HPV is just really rare. Source(s): Personal experience. I have had HPV for over 5 years. I have had both cervical cancer and genital warts from it. My fiance has had HPV for about 11 months now.

I think you should consult a specialist in infectious diseases. I would not want to give you unreliable information.
Wrap it... always
I would go to her ob, and talk with him/her about what ya'll would like to do. He'd/She'd be the best resource to talk about the questions you have here.
