lenny r	he cheated on your *, with some hot chick that probably had bigger boobs and a finer *. but that's OK you suck better Wang he said. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bargirl_2323	i am not going to tell you he has or hasn't been cheating on you. genital warts is caused by the virus hpv. hpv can lie dormant in your body for up to 10 years. my best friend just got diagnosed with genital warts and she has not had sex at all in 8 years. this is her first breakout. i went with her to the dr's appt which is how i know this. so, it is very possible for him to have gotten it before he ever met you, but i will say this. if this makes you not trust him, then follow your heart. don't put yourself at risk for someone you aren't sure about Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

superstar77	hmmm i would go get yourself checked out now! For every std blood and swabs and then i would repeat it in six months, goodluck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bannister_natalie	Honestly? He cant have just been with you for the past 7 years. Bin him before he gives them to you - or something else. Go to an std clinic and make sure he hasn't.Think about it - sexually transmitted disease - a disease transmitted sexually. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

FlyChicc420	Are you sure he's only been with you? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

NoNameGenericGuy	He obviously cheated on you at some time in your relationship and is now wearing the proof. I would suggest you get yourself tested and carry on with any treatments necessary to get rid of any warts he passed on to you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cheekybluebed	he clearly hasnt just been with you either that you have been elsewhere. but some std's lay dormant Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

revrezramone	HPV is really common. He could've been born with it for all we know. Get yourself checked out at the GUM clinic, yearly cervical smears. If he's given you anything else, he may have cheated. I'd ask him for a full and frank answer on this. I really feel for the answerer who got herpes. A similar thing happened with a partner of mine... he got herpes, but I didn't have it. Sounds impossible, I know, but it does happen. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

TLH	you and him should get the hpv vaccine. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Triplndy	they are lifetime baggage. is this very new?i don't know if they can show up years after exp. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

The BudMiester	Sorry sweetie, but he`s caught them off someone! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Siva	it proves that he wasn't with you alone - he has relationship with someone else too who it seems doesn't maintain good hygiene :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

MILLIE	well it could be that if he is telling the truth then you have given them to him the best thing you can do is get your self to a VD clinic and that means both of you and they will tell you if you have them and if you don't then I'm sorry but to have to say this but you need to get shot of that man pretty quick but before you judge him or any one else does don't you need to find out if you have them and how long you have had them for that is if you got them and they will tell you at the clinic if you do have them and if you do ask them for how long you have had them for and they will tell you then that way you will know if he is telling the truth hope you see what i am getting at so get your butt to the clinic then take it from there good luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ஐ♥PinkBoo♥ஐ	No you are unable to get genital warts if your partner had it 7 years ago. Best getting checked out at your local GUM clinic ASAP Yes SOME STDs can lay dominant for many years but have not heard of it with genital warts. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

MICHAEL D	obviously one of you have been playing away sorry to hear this Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Daughtry-luver	Lemme see here... Common sense, he's sleeping around. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

emmz-ee	genital warts is like herpes which is like coldsores!! your partner could have had sexual contact with someone who had warts before he met you. this can lie dormant in the body for years and then as like herpes things such as stress,being run down, poor diet can cause them appear!! if you go to your local GUM clinic you can get leaflets off the stands which explain everything you need to know about this. hope i was some kind of help for you. a friend of mine recently experienced this and i had to sit in the room with her as she was too devastated to listen to the dr. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sara Beth	Well men are the carriers for the HPV virus. HPV has no visible signs, and is untreatable, so he would not know he has it unless he gets tested. Also, yes it can lay dormant for several years, and cause warts. I will say this I have HPV and have had it for 4 years, when I found out I had it I got tested for everything and was clean. Three weeks ago I had an outbreak of herpes (sucks I know) so I went to the doctor and got tested along with my husband. I have herpes and he does not. It was a resent infection caused by my HPV. I never cheated on my husband, and he know that. So yes he could have HPV and not know it and then get warts. The only thing I do not understand is if you have been going to the doctor and getting your yearly pap smear they would know you have HPV. You should contact your doctor and go in and get tested. I hope this info helps. Best of luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mysteryman	hiya, I am sorry to say that if your partner has genital warts, there is a possibility (distinct) that he has been unfaithful to you. Genital warts are a herpes based virus that can be passed on through sexual intimacy. See your medical practitioner for a check-up. Hope this helps. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

freddy the newf	There is maybe one excuse for him here in that warts are a virus and are therefore stored in the body. Unfortunately they can flare up at any time, so potentially he could have caught them before he met you and is now experiencing an outbreak. This answer is highly unlikely but a remote possibility. The chances are that he has infected you so get yourself checked quickly as this virus is the primary cause of cervical cancer. Sorry love, I really think he has been unfaithful though, so do some checking elsewhere to see if he is guilty or not. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

doodlebip	Ive recently been diagnosed with this and have a leaflet about it right infront of me...regarding how long HPV (genital warts) takes to appear it says the following: if warts do appear (because not everybody gets them) this can happen from two weeks to several months or longer after coming into contact with the virus. That is what my leaflet says about it. I got symptoms (personally) about 3-4 months after I slept with the guy who had it.....also you should know that you do not have to have sex with someone to get Genital warts, skin to skin contact is enough. Also condoms do not protect against the virus because its unlikely that the condom will cover all of the affected area's so if you ahve slept with him...half expect to get it too. Im not sure if the statement in the leaflet that i quoted you above means it can take years for the virus to come out...it just says several months or longer, so thats open to translation as to how long? I would sit down and have a chat with your partner because id say 7 years later is a bit extreme (that is if he had a partner before you, you dont say?) Anyway goodluck with it all and if you want any further advice send me an email...ive got loads of info on the subject having it myself.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

paintednails777	Dump the liar....no questions. Get a checkup yourself because he probably gave them to you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

blackbox	Well if you search google, it says that genital warts are sexually transmitted so therefore he must of been sleeping with someone else while he's being with you, there's no other way he could of caught them unless you have them. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Tricia B	I am not sure but I don't think he can. I don't think it is possible...in fact I know it's not. I would talk to your Doctor about that and stop sleeping with this guy. You may have been true to him but it doesn't sound like he is being true to you. Sorry.... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Helen	genital warts can remain dormant and re-occur years later a friend of mine found out a year and a half after her divorce ! look at the evidence if he's been locked in a cupboard for the last year then it's possible he hasn't done anything wrong , but if he's been coming home late then he probably has . Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Diego	depends when the last time he was tested it is possible for genital warts to remain dormant for a long time without ever showing any sympotms however if youre husband has been tested in the last seven years and got it after the test was negative then he most definetly cheated on you but if this was the first time he ever was tested you can assume he cheated on you but there is a possibility that youre wrong and the disease has just been dormant however if he transmitted it to you then you should ask yourself when you noticed the system and try to trace back the entire 30 day margin you two had intercourse and see if the possibility that he could have cheated between that time was there Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

charlie	I think they can lie dorment for a while, not sure how long though you should ask your doctor. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

snikleback	Genital warts can lay dormant for years as it's actually caught in the form of a virus.How many years I'm not sure but apparently it's harder for a women to tell shes got them than men due to the female genitalia. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sbj95	Actually these other oeople are idiots!!! HPV can lay dormant in the system up to 10 years before or IF a breakout ever occurs. Alot of times stress will cause a breakout! Get educated people! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Wiseyngsoul	In the VERY technical sense, Genital Warts (caused by the HPV virus) can lie dormant in the body and take years to show any symptoms. Sometimes, they will never show symptoms but are still able to pass the disease on to other people. But in most cases, symptoms show up within 3 months of exposure. If you have never shown symptoms, he's probably been cheating on you. HPV is a nasty disease... the only STD that can be passed on even with condom use (because the disease is in the skin cells around the gentalia and not in the sexual fluids). It is also the cause of cervical cancer. I would seriously recommend you get annual pap smears, especially if you do not do so already. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
