Don't panic when exposed to genital warts – Search for a treatment instead

The very name 'sexually transmitted diseases' conjures up images of ugly looking growths on your genital area, zero sex till you undergo treatment and looks of disgust from your partners. That's why you might panic if you think you have been exposed to genital warts.

Don't ignore it

Do anything, but don't ignore your condition. Don't have this misconception that you are not suffering from genital warts because you don't see any warts on your skin. The absence of lesions doesn't mean that you don't need genital warts treatment. Consult your doctor about a treatment option if you think you have been exposed to someone who has genital warts. The worst step of action you can take is to ignore such an exposure.

Exercising care

If you have been exposed, you now need to start taking care. You need to undergo a thorough diagnosis and keep checking for signs of an infection. Also, unless you are really sure about the fact that you are not infected, you shouldn't have sexual intercourse with anybody. Don't think that your regular intake of medication such as Wartrol or for that matter any other medication that might have been recommended by your doctor is going to make you immune to this problem. Be on guard for the recurrence of this problem.

If you have actually contracted this disease, you will be able to learn more about it. It sounds like a dangerous way to become aware about such a condition. But the saying once bitten twice shy is a saying that applies best to this condition.
