Question: Hello, I have accidentally been exposed to genital warts, just one time. We used condoms but they were on his balls. Is it guaranteed I will get the infection myself? I am not sure if I have had the Gardasil vaccine. Thank you

Hi,

Thanks for your query.

The chances on one getting warts on single exposure is rare.

Well, there is no prophylaxis for this exposure at least. If you had your genital e=washed soon after the exposure this will ensure then chances of transfer ll be negligible.
