Some basics: Genital warts inhabit the external genital tissues where they were infected during sex. They do not spread internally. Infants are not at risk until delivery when they can be exposed to the virus. Occasional cases of genital or vocal cord warts can appear in exposed infants in the 2 years after birth. I would discuss this issue with the kids prospective pedi & your OB.
