Only protected sex!: Genital warts can spread infections even when there aren't any visible warts or other symptoms. Therefore protected sex with a partner with genital warts is highly recommended. Keep in mind unprotected sex always carries greater risks of transmission of infectious diseases. I wish you well with your health!
