A member asked:

What happens if a man had genital warts a few years ago, and no signs since?

Dr. Hunter Handsfield answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

Probably nothing: Once genital warts clear up, they usually are gone forever. You probably won't have them again, and there is little if any risk of transmitting the virus to your sex partner(s). Don't worry about it.
