Hello,
The strain of virus causing
genital warts is different from the one causing plain
warts. However continuous touching of the
genital area when you have plain warts can cause transmission of the virus and hence warts to appear on genital area. In 90% of cases, the body’s immune system clears HPV naturally within two years. But, sometimes, HPV infections are not cleared and can have HPV even if years have passed since he or she had sexual contact with an infected person.
