https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/relationship-and-family-issues/possible-sti/m-p/492194#M39522 I've recently been told I may have genital warts. I broke up with my partner of 20 years, 3 years ago. I havent been with anyone else since. My doctor has only referred me to a gynecologist, but given no treatment options. I cant get in to see the gynecologist until March. <BR /> <BR />This is stressing me out as I have recently starting dating again. <BR /> <BR />Has anyone else had an STI appear years later?? <BR /> <BR />Any advice will be appreciated.

It can be anywhere from 1 to 20 months from contracting HPV before symptoms are shown. From what you describe, you are well outside this period.<BR /> <BR /> I'd highly suggest getting a second opinion on this if concerned with the timeframe of the gynecologist appointment.<BR /> Tue, 28 Jan 2020 02:50:06 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/relationship-and-family-issues/possible-sti/m-p/492195#M39523 alasdayr 2020-01-28T02:50:06Z
