Question: I think I have genital warts I said I think because I have not had unprotected sex in two years Is there a confirm and any prescription
Answer: Hi 

Your concern is understandable since there are different skin changes that might be mistaken by an untrained eye to look like genital warts Differential diagnosis may include syphilis 

Human Papilloma Virus the causative agent of genital warts is transmitted by skintoskin contact and because HPV can infect areas that are not covered by the condom condoms will not fully protect you against contracting HPV but condoms do help in reducing the chances of contracting HPV 

In most cases for genital warts to be diagnosed a doctor has to examine and physically check a mans genital area to see if warts are present doctors may apply a vinegar solution to help identify warts that arent raised and visible Afterwards a treatment regimen is discussed and offered 

Cheers
