writes:I have been with my boyfriend for 10 months and everything was going really well. Just after Christmas he noticed warts on the end of his penis, which he said were most probably linked to his diabetes. (this had been making the skin quite tight and it was tearing during intercourse) Anyway I believed him (maybe naively) and we continued having sex (unprotected) Anyway a few weeks ago I noticed that I have similar spots/warts around my anal passage. We dont practice anal sex so Im a bit confused as to why they are there?! Initially I accused my boyfriend of cheating on me, he swears he hasnt, but he also says Im the only person he has had unprotected sex with so if thats true and he hasnt cheated on me then how has he got it? The last person I slept with (unprotected) was about 2 and a half years ago. So I dont think he got it from me. I have told him that Im not about to walk out on him I just want him to be honest with me (but I think he sees that as me accusing him) Any advice would be great as this is causing real tension in our relationship.

doctor and then a gynecologist.Ask the doctor if diabetes
can give him that stuff on his penis and if he says yes and
diagnoses it as something,then don't go to a gynecologist.
If he says it could be an STD,then go to a gynecologist.It
is most likely an Std because the places of the rash are
mostly always on the genitals.

 You need to see a doctor.
Warts, any warts, are nothing more than ugly skin growths caused by a virus in the top layer of the skin. They can spread by skin contact or by contact with other things that have very recently been in contact with the skin. Some people get them for no apparent reason, and other people don't get them at all even if they come into close (intimate) contact with them. Generally they appear on areas where the top layer of skin is tight, thin or has been slightly damaged
Genital warts definitely need treatment, because they will spread easily during sexual activity simply because the contact with them tends to be a little more vigorous than normal. You'll end up infecting each other again and again.
AND it IS possible that the warts have nothing to do with a sexual encounter with someone. The virus that causes these warts can be passed from the hands to the genitals (or almost anywhere else on the body) although it is much rarer for this to happen. Also, the virus can be present for months or even years without actually producing the visible warts.

 Go to the doctor. They may come from the woman. Not a form of sexually transmitted disease. I had one once. The doctor had me tell my girlfriend to get an exam. They meant she may be more prone to getting cervical cancer at a later age. The warts in a way provided warning, and caution.
