Sex after warts?
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
I've had genital warts since August of last year and have used Aldara cream and liquid nitrogen so far. My doctor has asked me to try aldara again and i'm getting really frustrated. They are not going away, the genital warts appear to actually be spreading and i am at my witts end. I'm trying to just hang in there but am a little down. I just came out of a relationship and now i'm faced with going back into the dating scene. It's hard enough being a single mom of a 3 year old. On top of that, having HPV is like having 2 strikes against you. Do the warts ever go away? Will I be able to find someone who can accept me with HPV? Will I ever be able to have sex again?

" I think the cream is a total waste of people's time personally. I mean don't you want the wart/bump to get fully treated? I mean I can understand the money part though.

Ya its quite funny I just had sex early this month. Im fine! LOL. I mean we use a condom, but it was like only 3 minutes (HAHAHA!) "

" Dear Geminidragon,

Kinda in the same boat myself I was diagnosed in February this year of having HPV in the genital area its in an area where a condom doesn't cover...

I haven't had sex since either and I'm afraid of telling anyone about it. I went to the doctor and had some of the creams I think one was aldara and it was useless as well and now I'm on the Liquid Nitrogen treament aswell so far I have had several treatments and really the warts seem to have shrunk in size but they are still there.

I'm managing to keep my spirits up however - Just found this group so thats a start! After all life isn't based around warts! Get out there and live!!!

C. "

" Hey!!
Don't feel too discouraged. I had about 5 warts and then I was on condylox and they went away, and then suddenly I got 3 out of nowhere and they tried to put me on aldara, how ever i didnt feel like using it. So I did the asprin treatment that was suggested on here (crushing up a few asprin adding a couple drops of water and making a paste. Leave on overnight and then the warts come off with the asprin) it took the warts off but made me sore and I had a couple raw spots, but once the raw spots healed the warts were gone. And then I after that I have been putting tea tree oil on while I sleep just to be on the safe side, and as far as I can see everything has cleared up. Unfortunately I still have to have a colposcopy done in august, but I now have hope that everything is going to be fine. I hope that everything works out for you and if you have any questions go ahead and message me :)
Wishing you the best
-Courtney "

" I also had warts but they have been gone for awhile. I just took alot of vitamins. Your immune system is the only thing that can really keep them gone. Mine were really small though...... like the end of a pen... but there were enough to know they were there. "

" hello. I am in the same boat. Some days I feel down especialy thinking of my kid going off to college in a few years. I dont want to be alone. Sometimes I just feel really angry at the world and at myself. Mostly I am focused on other things like spending time with my kid, going to college and I look foward to better days. It has been my experience that better times always come back around. Try and find things to inspire you and keep you possitive. Best of luck "
