STD Infection?

"Genital warts range from cauliflower-like growths that are easily seen to smooth bumps or flat, almost invisible growths. Some warts are hard and rough and others soft and fleshy. They are painless, but may bleed easily or itch. Warts usually remain small (less than a quarter inch in size), but very large warts (sometimes an inch or more across) sometimes occur if warts are not treated when small. Warts are most common at sites of friction or rubbing during sex. Therefore, the most common sites in women are on the labia minor or around the vaginal opening. In men, the head or shaft of the penis is most commonly involved. However, warts commonly are seen in other areas, such as the anus, scrotum, or labia major. Anal warts are most common in gay men, but also occur frequently in both women and heterosexual men. Warts usually appear a few weeks up to 3 months after catching HPV, but sometimes warts may first appear many months or even a few years after catching the virus. Therefore, the appearance of warts doesn't always mean recent sex with an infected partner. "

The 1st step is getting him tested and finding out the results. You may very well have gotten it from him but he may be asymptomatic and not know at all. Unless he's the ONLY person you've ever had sex with it's possible that he may bnot have it at all or that you may have passed it on to him too.

Take the 1st step and find out the status before worrying about 2nd and 3rd steps.

I seem to remember that this is very, very common -- I think Dan Savage had a column on it recently, I'll go look.

Here we go:

A. HPV is not a big deal. Before an angry mob of Planned Parenthood educators gathers under my window, let me get this on the record: In the STD galaxy, HPV is a supernova. Twenty million Americans are currently infected with HPV, and every year 6 million more contract one of the more than 100 different known strains of the virus. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 50 percent of sexually active men and women acquire genital HPV infection at some point during their lives. [b]By age 50, at least 80 percent of women will have acquired HPV infection.[/b] Some strains of HPV?-a/k/a the human papillomavirus?-can lead to cancer of the cervix, vulva, anus, or penis; other strains can result in unsightly warts on [uh, private parts -- Dan doesn't mince words], and condoms offer only minimal protection. So where do I get off saying that HPV is no big deal? Because in the vast and overwhelming majority of cases, WAW, men and women with HPV show no symptoms, never develop a single genital wart, and don't come down with cancer of the stanky stuff. And while we once thought that HPV was like herpes?-i.e., once a person is infected he's infected and infectious forever?-we now know, as the wonks at the CDC put it, "most people who become infected with HPV [will] clear the infection on their own." So should you have sex with this girl? If you've fucked other women without protection, odds are good you've been exposed to HPV already. But even if you have sex with this girl and contract HPV, the odds that you will screw up your penis forever are slight. Finally, when I say that HPV isn't that big a deal I don't mean to imply that people shouldn't seek treatment if they have warts or inform their sex partners if they know they're infected. Women, in particular, have to be vigilant. If you're a sexually active woman, assume you have HPV and get annual Pap tests. Every year in the United States more than 12,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and 4,100 women die of the disease, according to the American Cancer Society. [b]Most of these cancers are caused by "high-risk" strains of HPV, and early detection of cervical cancer through Pap tests saves lives.[/b] According to the CDC, most women who develop invasive cervical cancer have not had regular cervical cancer screenings. Don't let that happen to you, ladies.
