GENITAL WARTS
PREVENTION |

Total abstinence is the only fullproof
way of avoiding genital warts and other STDs. You can also avoid
STDs by having a monogamous sexual relationship with a partner known
to be disease-free. Normal skin
near the warts often contains HPV. In fact, the skin around the
genitals, anus, and other areas can pass the virus from one person
to the next. Therefore, male and female condoms cannot fully protect
you.
Nonetheless, condoms should still be
used. They reduce your chances of getting or spreading STDs. Use
them with spermicide with nonoxynol 9.
These precautions must be taken at
all times. HPV can be passed from person to person even when there
are no visible warts or other symptoms. |
