If your partner has genital warts can they give it to you?

Answer 1

If an individual has human papillomavirus (HPV), that individual can give genital warts to the sexual partner even if he himself (or she herself) doesn't have them. HPV is the virus that causes all kinds of warts, and there are specific types of HPV that cause genital warts. Not everyone who has HPV has warts, so a person may be carrying the virus and not know it. If an infected person (without warts) had sex with another, he or she may transmit the virus to that other person, who may develop the symptoms (wart growths).

Keep in mind that the warts themselves are treatable with medical procedures (surgery, cryotherapy, electrodesiccation, etc) and topical treatments (Wartscide, etc), but HPV isn't.

Answer 2

No you do not. Even when you have no visible wart, you can still infect your sexual partner. What you need to do is to wait until 2 years of your initial infection and make sure you have been 8 months wart-free, and you can consider yourself cleared up from your HPV infection. HPV is the virus that cause genital warts.

According to the latest studies, 70% of people can clear up HPV infection within 1 year and the remaining 20% clear up HPV in the next year. It means only 10% of people need more than 2 years to clear up their HPV infection. If your antibody hasn't cleared up your HPV infection yet, you are still contagious to others.

Sadly, there's no commercial test available in the United States to check our HPV status. What you can do is to wait until you have been 6-8 months wart-free and you can consider yourself cleared by then. Most people with active HPV infection usually will keep getting new warts at least once every 5 months. These people can still infect their sexual partners until one day it stops recurring.

There's another alternative. Your partner can get HPV vaccine that's now available worldwide. It's effective enough to fight 4 HPV strains that cause 90% of genital wart cases and 90% of Cervical cancer cases. With this vaccine, he/she can't be infected by you unless you have a HPV strain that's outside of the 90%.
