Do you need to tell your partners?

Your partner might also be infected with genital warts, which is why it is important that he/she is also examined.

Infection risk

We recommend using a condom for 2-3 months after successful treatment, to avoid infecting your partner.

Avoid shaving your pubic hair, as you might spread the virus. 

If you smoke, we recommend you stop that, since it may help your immune system fight the virus.
