How Do Genital Warts Get Through Condoms?

Posted in Uncategorized on Nov 08, 2009

That just doesn’t make sense to me, if you’ve got a male condom and a female condom on, how can the warts get through? Will they ALWAYS get through? How does that work?

    It doesn’t go through the condom, it goes around it. If someone has warts, they are not just on the genitals, they are around them as well. Also, if a wart is ‘open’ it can spread by any touch, like if your hand brushed it when putting the condom on then your touched your genitals with that hand it will spread.

    The HPV virus which causes genital warts lives in the SKIN, not bodily fluids. Therefore, any area that a condom doesn’t cover (such as the base of the penis or the scrotum) can come into contact with your skin and transmit that way.
    For example, a man who has had protected sex with an infected woman may develop warts on the base of their penis and not the head which was covered by the condom.

    hey genital warts are spred through skin contact or even throught down below liquids.the condon only covers the penis so if there is any anywhere else that touch your skin you will catch them. i hope this helps. if you are stuck google it and see what comes up xx

    HPV (the virus that causes genital warts) does not stay only on the genitals. The virus can shed to the surrounding skin…thighs, etc. As such, a condom would not offer protection against the transmission of the virus.

    Condoms have a 50% chance of having holes when they leave the factory just like a broken electronic that you take back to the store they mess up on condoms to believe me. No sex is safe sex . Life is about risk though so Enjoy!!

    Because the warts are not only on the place where the condom covers,
