How contagious are warts?
I went to the doctor about 2 weeks ago and the results came back that I did, for sure, have genital warts. I've had them for about a year now. I have another doctor's appointment coming up to discuss treatment possibilities for the warts. I have a question NOW though. How contagious are genital warts? My boyfriend and I have been having sex a lot and, to be honest, I don't want to stop. He wasn't weirded out by the bumps but I haven't told him they are warts even. Is it safe to keep having sex or is he going to get the warts too???

You're surprisingly nonchalant, considering you have a permanent STI! Don't let the wording fool you... what you have is every bit as serious as something like herpes. There is no cure... you can only treat the outbreaks as they come.
You should absolutely tell your boyfriend, and you should be using protection. Chances are, however, that if he's had sex with you during an outbreak he will have contracted the virus as well.
He deserves to know. In the future, if you have a concern like that, get it checked out immediately! You can't drag your feet when it comes to your health and the health of your partner.

Extremely, EXTREMELY contagious! Your bf needs to see a doctor ASAP! If you have sex during a break-out, you WILL eventually transfer it. Stop now and when you talk to the doctor ask about sex and protection and all of that. Wow! Very dangerous! I sure hope your boyfriend is a super forgiving guy because chances are high that he has warts now too. How selfish and cruel of you for not being honest with him about this. Did YOU knowingly contract the warts? Didn't you wish someone would have told you about it BEFORE you were with the person you got them from? So sad....good luck to you, and especially your boyfriend.
