Genital Warts

What goes wrong

You get warts on your privates, which look horrible.

It’s caused by

Having sex with someone who has genital warts as well. They come from a virus called the Human Papilloma Virus. In all there are over 40 different types of this virus – some of which cause warts on your fingers and verrucas on your feet, and others which can cause cancer of the cervix (neck of the womb). They’ re all different, though – finger warts don’t give you genital warts. Though some strains of genital warts are linked to cervical cancer, they are not the genital sort you see on the outside of the genitals

How not to get it

If it’s got warty lumps on it, don’t sleep with it. Though it can be difficult to tell if they’re inside the girl. Always use a condom.

What to do if you do get it

The doctor will give you a special paint which makes the warts drop off.
