So, how do you get genital warts? This is a question asked by many people, but which unfortunately has no straight answer.
Genital warts are also called venereal warts; when they appear on the anus they are often referred to as anal warts, but the strain of HPV that causes the infection is the same no matter where they appear.
Genital warts are almost always transmitted sexually.
Human Papilloma Virus
Genital warts is a highly contagious infection that is caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and its many strains and subtypes. The strains of type 6 and 11 are the ones that cause the infection in almost 90% of known cases. Interestingly it is much more common than not for the virus to lay dormant, and only about 1% of the people who get infected with these strains of HPV will actually develop a full blown — visible, uncomfortable, and often highly embarrassing — case of warts.
It doesn’t have to be this way.

What this means though is that there are many people who are carriers of HPV who are doing so without knowing it. A carrier can pass genital warts on to a sexual partner without ever having known that they had it.
Some of the strains of the genital warts infection are more likely to respond to treatments like freezing (see Freezing Genital Warts) and Wartol (see Wartol: Two Bottles Free Offer) than others; some others can be linked to the early signs of cancer. In females, genital warts can lead to cervical cancer and in the case of males can cause cancer of the penis and anus. It is clearly important, then, to cure and treat genital warts as soon as possible.
Genital Warts: Spread By Sexual Contact
As mentioned above, the answer to how you get genital warts is in the spread through sexual contact. The contact can be vaginal, anal or even oral (and yes it possible to contract genital warts in the mouth), with any person who is infected. Unfortunately it not always obvious who is and who is not infected since carriers of the virus may have no idea that they are carrying.
The warts appear to be either flat with stalk-like appendages or clustered and flowered like a cauliflower; they can most usually be seen in the genital and rectal area. Most genital warts appear to be colourless and are more or less painless. They do itch, though, and many people use oinments and salves like tea tree oil (see: Tea Tree Oil Genial Warts) to soothe the discomfort.
It is clear that you get genital warts is through direct contact with the infected person, skin to skin. However it is not necessary that everyone who has exposure to an infected person will contract the infection. This does not mean that taking precautions isn’t necessary if you plan on having sexual relations with a carrier.
