Genital warts+scared out of my mind=help? ?

Hi.

So basically.

Me and my girlfriend didn't become sexually active active (if you catch my drift) until the 15th, so, a few days ago. And unprotected, because we're f-ing morons.

After a discussion with a friend of mine, who happens to be a pharmacist, about hpv and gardasil, I looked up info about hPv online so I'd be more aware of what to watch out for.

Tonight, I noticed what looks exactly like the pictures I've seen of genital warts, cauliflower like, darkish, on my girlfriend.

They weren't there on saturday.

And Ive never had warts down there.

So I immediately stopped what I was doing, and told her she needed to go home, which she did. At which point I went into panic mode.

I'm making an appointment at our local medical clinic tomorro morning to see if I can get the gardasil vaccine, because if she gave me one strain of hpv, I can be protected against the other 3 it covers.

So big question here.

How do I bring up the fact that she has warts and should do something about it?

And if she knew but didn't say anything, how do I go about our relationship?

I might tell her I need to take a break and think about things for awhile, but I know that that would be devastating to her.

Help me!!!

Both 18, bisexual girls if that has any impact on answers.

And we were both virgins.

    Ask her about it. Be straight up with her, tell her you noticed some bumps down there and you are worried. Ask her if she ever had an abnormal PAP smear before and go from there. Make an appointment and encourage her to make an appointment! You need to talk (yes it is scary), and not run.

    Also ask your doctor about safer sex practices for same sex couples. Hopefully you just won't get the blank confused stare I did. But if that's the case dental dams, female condom latex sheets (no cellophane wrap) sold at some sex shops, but if you are too young to enter buy a standard male condom...snip the tip off and cut a line down it lengthwise...tada you now have a latex sheet that you lay over each others area before stimulation. Latex underwear also works but it can feel constricting.

    just talk to her about it and be honest.

    Genital warts is really common though.. I think something close to 80% of adults have had it. and it doesn't mean she cheated or anything.

    And I doubt she was purposely trying to hurt you

    you should look things up before calling people a moron..

    Get checked out, and tell your gf to get checked out. Warts are

    everywhere, and they may not be the strain that causes cancer.
