So if i have sex with this girl am i going to get the virus? I guess she got it about 2 years ago and hasnt shown any signs of the warts since then.. If i wear a condom can i still get it with skin to skin contact? how does it get transmitted when there are no signs of it? is genital warts that bad??? she got it treated but i mean i dont really know much about it. Help!! i dont know if i should move on or not really worry. any in sight would be great!

You can look into the vaccine as well.
Not judging your girl, but I would personally be leery of dating/sex someone with HPV since you can EASILY have it, transmit it and not know you carry it around.

Unless you are certain you would be willing to take these risks, (you would likely be a carrier of the virus for the rest of your life) you should not do anything with her.

i had the same thing with an ex bf. I asked my doctor and she said you can still catch it whether using a condom or not. Less chance if there are no visable signs. As long as the girl goes to get treated if symptoms occur as do you you shouldn't be affected. Though there is always a chance x
