HPV genital Wart question?

April 25, 2009 by admin 

I have Hpv, the strain that causes Genital Warts.
My gyno says the virus will go away on its on.
He treated the warts with acid and they went away.. And then came back. I only get 2 or 3 warts at a time.
my pap smear came back normal so i dont have abnormal cells or anything.
This STD is so confusing to me. Because there are so many strains and how do i know i dont have a strain that will go away on its on?
Please tell me it goes away and that i will be STD free in the future.

    I’m not sure why your doc said that your genital warts will go away on its own because it won’t. The symptoms may go away, but the actual virus will never go away. as of now, there in no cure for HPV/genital warts. I was diagnosed with HPV/genital warts in June of this year. I had a small cluster of warts around the opening of my vagina and I was prescribed Aldara cream. I was told to apply it every other night before bed and then to wash it off the next morning. I did this for about a week and a half and the warts were completely gone. It’s been about 6 months now and I have no sign of them since. The cream seemed to work well for me, but every person is different. you may want to look into your different treatment options to see what is best for you. This is something you will have for the rest of your life, it may seem and sound scary but its okay. I felt the same way at first, but you can treat genital warts fairly easily and this will not affect your daily life if you don’t let it. This virus will always be in you, but hopefully your symptoms will go away. Just remember, even if they do…that doesn’t mean the virus is gone. you are still able to pass this virus on to others so be sure to let any new partners now about your condition.
