Risky for warts: If you haven't yet had sex, there will be a risk you will catch his HPV infection and possibly develop warts yourself. If he gets treated and they clear up, the risk will be lower, but not zero. Either way, talk to your doctor about getting Gardasil, the vaccine that prevents infection with the HPV types that cause most warts and genital cancers. You will then be very unlikely to catch his warts.
