Answers:

I've had genital warts for 2 years. Ignor "sheena" because someone obviously gave you the virus. Hate it when people judge like "you chose to have unprotected sex" .... So to those IDIOTS, you can catch it even if you do use protection thank you very much. It's skin on skin contact that passes it on. Anyway, If you've had more than 1 sexual partner, no you cannot blame him. You could've had it for years without knowing and only just getting symptoms. But i had this when i broke up with my ex....the timing was strange and i'm forever thinking maybe it was him. But the doctor is right..... could've had it longer without knowing. The virus itself is for life, and you may or may not get symptoms again. Your immune system is what suppresses the virus. I'm still fighting the symptoms. Do not smoke. When i stopped i noticed a massive change. Keep well and i hope you don't get any more symptoms. x

Did you engage in sex with anyone after the split? It is often difficult to know when we acquired the virus. Was your ex the only sex partner you had sex with? If he was the only person then you probably acquired the virus from him. Stress from the break up may have caused the outbreak. If he was not your only sex partner then it is impossible to know which sex partner shared his infection with you.
Your doctor can offer you treatments to remove the visual warts but treatments do not remove the virus. You could share your virus with any new sex partners.

The most common time interval from exposure to HPV to development of genital warts is 4 weeks to 8 months. However, HPV can remain latent in some people for years or decades before developing warts or cervical disease, so it is usually not possible to determine exactly when, or from whom, an individual contracted the virus.
http://www.asccp.org/hpv_history.shtml
There is no treatment for HPV (a virus), but there are treatments for the conditions it can cause, including genital warts.
It is common for genital warts to recur (come back after treatment), especially in the first three months after treatment.
Treating genital warts will not necessarily lower your risk of passing HPV to a sex partner. You can still pass the virus on to sex partners, even after the warts are treated. It is not known how long a person remains contagious after warts are treated.

I know someone who has hpv, for the most part they are generally unaffected. a break out of the actual warts can happen very rarely and they may even clear up on their own. hpv has been associated with cervical cancer, but the wart causing virus and the cancer causing virus are two different ones. there are many variations of the virus. there are treatments for the symptoms but not the virus itself. for more info I suggest u Google it or have an indepth chat with your doc. as for letting your ex know......do they not offer some form of service were the surgery itself sends out a letter informing them that a past sexual partner has hpv and they may need to get checked out, they do this without mentioning your name. just ask, u never know x



You can't blame anyone else for your warts. You chose to have unprotected sex. If you want to know about HPV, research it. You obviously have access to the internet. It's possible your ex has the virus and is not aware, so it would be intelligent to tell him about your results.
