Can Genital Warts Spread Despite Protected Intercourse?
Hello, my boyfriend has a genital warts on his penis. We have been using condoms since we met for about 3 months. But sometimes the condom gets down and there was a skin contact during sexual intercourse. Am really am worried that i will have the disease. Is there a chance that i might not have the disease? Am terrified a lot. I cant sleep. Am thinking a bout it everyday.

Hi welcome to the health care magic
Your partner having genital wart HPV infection
HPV can spread through oral, anal and vaginal sex usually
Intimate skin contact also can spread it but it is not common mode of spread
Sample can be sent to laboratory for molecular testing for HPV if needed (if wart develops)
Pap smear examination also helpful in diagnosis
Take care
Hope this will help you
Consult dermatologist or gynecologist if needed for examination
