I could be wrong, but from discussing this with a friend who has had genital warts, I was under the impression that once they have been treated (removed) it's done. So it becomes "we had HPV" not "we have it". If that is the case it would be important to know which it is. If someone told me that they had had a genital wart removed, it would not decrease the likelihood of my playing with them. If they told me they currently had a genital wart, then that would be a different story.

Also, from a previous thread that delved into HPV quite a bit there are quite a few strains of HPV the main two being the one that causes warts (an uncomfortable inconvienence at worst) and the one that causes genital cancer.... so again it would be important to know which one you are dealing with and if it has been/ can be treated.

The vaccine that is on the market treats the vaccinates against the ones that cause cancer but not against the ones that cause genital warts. So, while I know you can have the warts removed can you be treated after the fact for the type that can cause cancer?

To answer the original question. I would have to agree with Tribbles post above.
