Hi, I am 26, and I'm pretty sure that I have developed genital warts, and am waiting for the holiday to finish to try and find a gyn in my area... about a month ago I felt some bumps, but just thought they were razor burn and didn't think anything of it. They didn't go away and I decided to try some antibiotic (which seemed to help for awhile), within the last three or four days it has gotten alot worse. They aren't painful, just multiplying in numbers. I just moved states away for my first job after completing my masters and have been dating the most amazing man for the last couple of months. Needless to say I have no idea when or who I got them from, and I know from my research that that is extremely common. I just know that I'm horribly embarrassed and extremely scared. I have been sexually active with the man I've been dating and am so scared that I have either A. Given it to him, or B. He will no longer feel for me what he claims to feel for me now. But I have read in this thread and other places that once the warts are treated and "go away" that there is a slight chance that the virus will go away on its own. I guess my question is more of a clarification of this. I know it is a virus, therefore incurable, but in the future is it possible for it to run its course on its own and me be tested as negative for the virus, even if the odds are slim? and secondly, how should I approach telling my boyfriend about this?
