This viral infection is very contagious and genital warts spread easily from person to person. Even if you are using a condom, you cannot be protected from it since it can grow in the areas around the penis, and on the scrotum and anal area. But at least, using it will have a limiting effect on the virus infection and can also protect you with other forms of sexually transmitted diseases.

Genital warts spread even without any outward symptoms from the person carrying the human papillomavirus. A certain percentage of those who came in contact with the virus do not develop the disease but has the virus in their system. Not having any felt or visible signs does not mean that the person will not infect anyone. In fact, this is more dangerous since anyone who has sexual contact with that person will not know that he or she has already been infected.
