Genital warts are very contagious. Having unprotected sex once with someone who has genital warts gives you a 65% chance of getting it.
You can prevent transmission by always using a condom.
Normally people get infected through unprotected (anal) intercourse or rubbing the genitals together, but you can also get it through a shared towel.
The more sexual partners you have, the higher the risk for getting warts.
If you notice that your partner has genital warts don’t have sex until the warts are treated.
Never touch the warts and then other parts of your body, for that way you may spread them.
