Is there any way to limit when you have just been in contact with someone who has genital warts?

Hello. The main cause of genital warts is infection through unprotected sex in any form. The genital warts virus (HPV) will pass through this route and quickly invade and attack other parts of the body. Therefore, having unprotected sex (not using condoms, having unprotected sex with many different people...) will increase the risk of getting sick.
In addition, genital warts can also be transmitted to people with low immunity, skin mucosa is scratched when in direct contact with personal items contaminated with the virus, such as: sharing underwear, clothes, blankets, toothbrushes, towels... even sharing toilets or open wounds, the risk of genital warts infection is also very high. You did not specify how the contact? Therefore, it is difficult to give specific advice on the question "is there any way to limit when you have just been in contact with someone who has genital warts?" However, most people after being infected with the virus that causes genital warts will have a very high risk of contracting the disease, it is difficult to limit the infection. What to do when infected with the virus that causes warts is to treat the disease to avoid discomfort and complications.
