A member asked:

I have genital warts and am being treated for them, how contagious r they if i have unprotected sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very contagious: Having unprotected intercourse with documented genital warts (despite ongoing treatment) is highly contagious. Best to abstain from sex if you care about your partner and don't want him or her to get infected.
