My boyfriend has an STD
Im 25 years old and my boyfriend just recently found a wart on his penis that he had removed. We have never had unprotected sex, but I got tested for std's anyway just to make sure. The results came back negative for HPV, and all the rest of the bugs out there. My question is how can I stay free of infection if I ever wanted to have a baby with this person whom has genital warts?

Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: STD Information?
You know I have been searching for over
an hour and I cannot find an answer for you.
Theres plenty of info on having a baby if
the female has HPV, but not the male.
I think the safest way would be to make
an appointment for both of you to see
a doctor and discuss your options.
I know they used to claim if the person
didn't have an active outbreak the
partner wouldn't get them. They have
backtracked on that now and say they
can. It may be a reduced chance but
still be possible.
I don't think having children is hopeless.
But get with a doctor to get correct
information to keep you safe. :)

Good question, him having what he has there is a major problem for pregnancy, so actually to be on the safe side he would have to be treated and get well.

your question is good, but the answer is not always simple or easy to accept. Avoiding unprotected sex has two goals. One is to keep you from getting pregnant when you don't want that to happen. The other is to avoid or reduce your chances of getting an STD. It also depends upon which STD you mean.
In the worst case, if he has the HIV virus and doesn't even know it, he could easily pass it on to you with a pregnancy that easily allows the HIV virus to pass from the mother to the baby inside who is then born with a fatal infection and may well die of AIDS in a couple of years. If you know he had HIV then you should not plan to have children with him - EVER !
If he has other STDs like syphilis or gonorrhea, he could be treated and cured so that you and any babies would be healthy.
Sexually active people, unless they are both virgins, should be screened yearly for STDs. However, the screening does NOT really screen for all possible STDs. Thus, there is always some risk. Even condoms and birth control pills will not prevent all STDs and all chances of pregnancy. Some gamble is always involved, but may be worth the risk. You decide. It's your life. Be careful. Enjoy a safe or safer sexually active life if that is your desire.
You have be careful these days who you have sex with, even protected sex because you are never fully protected. And when you decide to have kids, make sure it is with someone you trust and love. They have to be faithful.
Hope I helped, let me know.
