Silly: Wherever did you get your ideas? See a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment of genital lesions. What are you waiting for? You can be treated. You should be treated. Persistence of warts is NOT a sign of immune deficiency. Are you stating you had a "full physical" and did not discuss genital warts?

Warts: Warts can persist for years since they are in the dead skin layer where your immune system is unable to reach them. Aldara (imiquimod) cream may help or cryotherapy.
