I had just started going out with this girl – I knew her for a while before we started going out. A couple of weeks later I started noticing small warts on my penis. I freaked out. They were itchy – it was really embarrassing. I didn’t do anything about it for a few days, I was hoping they would go away, but they didn’t.
I told my older cousin. I knew I could trust him. He told me about the clinic and he came with me to the appointment. It was grand – there were loads of people there my age, some people were there with their parents.
The nurse was really sound. She told me that I had genital warts and that I could get them burned or frozen off. I got them frozen off. It wasn’t sore really.
The problem is that the virus that causes the warts stays in my body. I could get the warts again, or I could give them to someone. From now on I have to use condoms every single time I have sex or else the girl could get the warts virus.
