Hey! I just discovered last week that I have genital warts, and I know how upset you may be feeling. To make matters worse, I recently started dating a wonderful new man and we have not had sex yet, but we're pretty close. I went to my doctor and they treated them with acid and sent me home with Aldara to treat them myself, which I will begin doing tonight. I told my new man everything and I couldn't believe how awesome he was about it! He still wants to be with me, but of course we are waiting until these are cleared up and then we will use condoms and see where our relationship goes. I felt very guilty at first, but I know that I have been very careful and whoever I got it from likely did not know that he had it. You are not a bad person, just got unlucky. Get treated and keep an eye on things, go to gyn. every year and you will be fine. Hopefully you are not involved w/ someone right now so you will not feel as I did like I owed it to this person to tell him. I fully understand why you would not want to share this with a friend or family member as I felt like no one would really understand that I haven't been whoring around and stuff. I really tried to look at this positively in that Herpes would be much worse and also, there is some chance that they will never reappear, although I am prepared to deal if they do.
