How easy is it to catch genital warts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Easily transmitted: Genital warts are caused by hpv virus. If you have visible genital warts, then in all likelihood, you have exposed recent partners to the strains of hpv virus that caused them in the first place (or your partner to you!). Most of us, though, by virtue of being human beings who are sexually active, have already been exposed to many strains of the hpv virus. Talk to your doctor about treatment!
