However, you are better off telling them early before you have convinced yourself that "this one is different". It's sad, and it's rough but life must go on. Be thankful your ex did not give you HIV-AIDS. He could have done just as easily and not told you either. While you are stuck with it, at least it's not a death warrant like AIDS.
Just remember to stay sexually inactive during the flare-up periods and your partner will normally be okay. But it is only fair to let him know before you all do anything.
i asked my ex about the warts, but he told me he didn't know he had warts.
i've been reading stats that almost 30-50% have been exposed to genital warts/hpv virus, but hardly anyone i've mentioned it to have even heard about it.
its fair to tell someone b4 hand, but its a real bummer to be rejected in case he's already got the warts virus but doesnt know it. like my ex, he said he didnt know he has warts.
The problem with warts, are that women are normally the carriers, inspect your boyfriend cautiously, even inside his mouth, if oral sex is practised, he will certainly feel them, if in the mouth, athough no pain.
It is very possibe, that you have passed it to your boyfriend if he doesn't have any visible signs of them yet.
If you have had sexual relations, before him, what happens is the warts develop inside the vagina, and you would not always know about them. It takes several months for them to develop, so if your boyfriend doesn't have them just yet, he must still use a
condom, becuase he is likely to have the virus in him and it just hasn't broken out yet.
It is no big deal, so no arguments over it, it's just one of those things, very common, also crab lice, which are probably the next most transmitted parasite, which you can also pick up from public toilets.
