My friends bf has genital warts and she has sex with him all the time and doesnt have them? why?


Question:
My friend says she wont get them..I told her she will..she has unprotected sex with him!! He wont go to a doc! Is there any way she wont get it?

Answers:
Sounds like she believes she's indestructible. Check out the article on the link below. Here is an excerpt:

"Just because you can't see warts on your partner doesn't mean he or she doesn't have HPV. The infection can have a long incubation period. This means that months can pass between the time a person is infected with the virus and the time a person notices genital warts. Sometimes, the warts can take years to develop. In women, the warts may be where you can't see them--inside the body, on the surface of the cervix."

You might clue her in here and make sure that she is aware of the incubation period so that she doesn't unwittingly infect another person.
She probably already has them but hasn't broken out into the warts yet. Just because you don't have an outbreak doesn't mean that you aren't carrying hpv.
