Genital warts, sometimes referred to as condyloma acuminata, are flesh-colored or gray growths found in the genital area and anal region of both men and women. They represent the most common sexually-transmitted disease caused by a virus. The warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Infection with genital warts may not be obvious.
Genital warts are transmitted through sexual contact (anal, oral, and vaginal) with an infected person, and warts can appear within several weeks or months afterwards.
The virus is passed through skin-to-skin contact, but not everyone who’s been exposed to the virus will develop genital warts.
be careful and avoid direct contact….tell ur guy to to take medical help and it is indeed curable depending upon the severity!!
A wart anywhere on the body is one of the over 100 HPV types.
A wart anywhere in the genital area…belly button to crotch area is one of the 40 genital HPV types. Most often visible genital warts are of low risk HPV types.
You probably do share his HPV type. You may never show a wart. Many people with the virus never show a visible external genital wart or abnormal cell changes of the cervix.
