The risk of you passing the virus on is very low if you have no symptoms, every ones circumstances is different but the complication of dealing with your mind is a different matter as it can be very hard if you are feeling guilty of passing it on. My advice to you is if you don't have any symptoms you should still practice safe sex as you can be lead astray from things you find on the Internet making you feel like a leper when you should not be feeling that way. HPV is very very common so you don't need to feel dirty or anything along those lines but you must always be aware of the virus in your body and you should check for symptoms weekly .

It is possible to have unprotected sex with your partner with out passing on the virus but as there is 100 different strains of the virus this is not say that you might catch a different strain in you are having unprotected sex. I will tell you what i have learnt after dealing with these problem myself, after many different consults with many different doctors and the best specialists available. If you are male as i can not speak for females as circumstance's can be different, if you have no symptoms you should live like you don't have anything. This has been told to me by many doctors and took me along time for me to believe but you should always be aware of the virus and check for any symptoms regularly.

The best way i have had it described to me is that if you think of a wart as a lesion, a lesion rubbing against skin can pass on the virus but you get your symptoms treated and you have no lesions skin rubbing against skin will not pass on the virus. If you want to find out more about HPV/WARTS please don't go just looking up HPV on the Internet as not all the information on the Internet is correct (BIG SURPRISE). Go see your doctor and remember not all GP's will have all the correct information so try and find a doctor who deals with warts on regular basis or you can always talk to a specialist like i myself have done.

I hope this has helped anyone who reads this in someway and please practice safe sex and remember that just because you have caught genital warts does not mean your life is over it just means you need to be aware, get your symptoms treated, keep a eye on things and you won't miss out on anything life has to offer.
