A member asked:

I found out i have internal anal wart. i had sex with condom on. is it much lower risk to spread it than external anal wart? is condom more effective?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Condoms help but do not prevent HPV infections and anal warts are due to HPV. You should discuss with your doctor if due to your life style you may be a candidate for HPV vaccine.
