How can we prevent Genital warts?

The best way to keep from getting genital warts-or any other STD-is to not have sex. If you do have sex, practice safe sex.

Use condoms. Condoms may help reduce the risk of spreading genital warts, but they do not protect the entire genital area against skin-to-skin contact.

Before you have sex with someone, talk to them about STDs. Find out whether he or she is at risk for them. Remember that a person can be infected without knowing it.
If you have symptoms of an STD, don't have sex.

Do not have sex with anyone who has symptoms or who may have been exposed to an STD.

Do not have more than one sex partner at a time. Having several sex partners increases your risk for disease.

If you are age 26 or younger, you can get the HPV shot. The vaccines Cervarix and Gardasil protect against two types of HPV that cause cervical cancer. Gardasil also protects against two types of HPV that cause genital warts.

There are vaccines, but these are expensive and don’t necessarily cover the strains found in MSM. Limiting your number of sexual partners obviously greatly lowers your risk, but if this is not an option then your best bet – as with other STIs – is still to use a condom during sex. Be aware that this method unfortunately doesn’t provide complete protection from HPV as there may still be contact between areas of skin that are not covered.
