When Diagnosed With Hpv-are You Guaranteed Genital Warts?
No. It is possible to carry HPV and not have genital warts. Since it is a virus, your immune system can supress it to the point none happen. Nobody is certain what the incubation period of the virus is, so it’s impossible to say when exactly or from whom exactly you caught it. You can have one episode of warts, get them treated and removed, and never have any more show up. There are also several varients of HPV, and the sort that causes cervical problems in women is a different type than causes genital warts. Moreover, all warts are caused by a variation of HPV, it’s a big family. Each one has a particular part of the body they prefer, and they don’t tend to form warts in other spots. There is not a good test to detect HPV unless there is a spot to culture, though- there are DNA type blood tests,but those aren’t usually done. They also don’t know if you remain a carrier for life or not- so they recommend you take precautions as if you were, even if you don’t suffer warts at the time.
No. An HPV diagnosis only means that you carry the virus. A lot of people have HPV and don’t even know it because they don’t have a breakout of warts.
Not necessarily, You have the virus AND it is possible for you to spread it at any time through sexual contact. However, you may or may not have outs. Many people will have outbreaks that gradually diminish in severity and frequency over-time. There are treatments but there is no cure. I suggest that you disgust options with your doctor.

No. Not all strains cause warts, and the strains that do cause genital warts are asymptomatic in some people.
No, an HPV diagnosis does not guarantee genital warts. The HPV virus usually does not produce any symptoms. Even if the virus causes changes in skin cells, they are often so minor they are not noticeable (and are not of concern). When the HPV virus does cause noticeable changes, the most common result is genital warts – typically appearing around the anus or on the penis, scrotum (testicles), groin or thighs. These warts can vary in appearance from small, flaky patches to pronounced, raised growths. Genital warts are not serious and can be treated, although they may re-appear if the body’s immune system has not fully suppressed the HPV virus. Rarely, “high-risk” types of HPV can cause certain types of cancer, such as cancer of the penis or anus (with the latter usually occurring in gay, bisexual or HIV-positive men).
