Consultation: Anal Warts

Most GUM clinics will give you Warticon to deal with genital warts. I had them a few years ago and the Warticon cleared them up within a month. never had them grow back since. Although apparently the actual infection stays in your blood for life.
I have jst been diagnosed with genital warts at my GUM. i feel disgusted in myself bt atleast i know im not the only one whos going or gone through this. I had it frozen and have to go back next week to have it re frozen, i got tested and swabbed for ghonorea, chlymdia, hiv and got an injection against hep b or c. Just want this thing to go away i dnt feel me with it being there.

Hey! I have anal warts an spread a lot I think! I was bleedin 2 months ago and I still haven't been to the doctors yet!
I am thinking of going to the doctors this week but I was wondering how long an average person has anal warts for? How long if treated? How long if not treated?
I'm 18 and I had anal warts appear perhaps 2 months ago, I was terrified of visting the doctors about it. I bit the bullet a few weeks ago when I sheepishly mentioned it to my GP after a post-swine flu check up for my chest. He wrote to me referring me to a nurse but I've been putting it off since. I've no idea how I got them as I've had the same partner for a year. I'm getting my girlfriend to make the appointment for me tomorrow as I've not got the courage to do it again!
