What is it?

Genital warts is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI).

How do you get Genital warts?

• By touching your genitals with someone else’s genitals who carries the HPV virus. The virus may be present on the skin but no actual warts can be seen
• You can get warts without having penetrative sex
• You can get warts even if you use condoms, as a condom does not cover the whole genital area

How do I know if I have Genital warts?

• You may notice lumps or growths which were not there before around your vagina, penis or anus
• You can carry the virus without developing actual warts.

Where can I get tested?

• Make an appointment with your GP or contact Grampian Sexual Health Services - call 0345 337 9900
