Re: Colposcopy needed--related to mycoplasm and vaginitis?

Thank you for replying.Now I am waiting for him to get treated since we
did have sex before my wart removal. Is it okay to perform oral sex
after he is treated? The doctor said that saliva should "kill" the germs
on his skin (or at least
it is safer than intercourse. I know that we do not have warts on our
mouths) I ask because the oral activity is important to us and naturally
have engaged in oral/intercourse combination. Would I be transferring
the virus back to his skin from my mouth after he is treated? Do I need
to treat my mouth too? Because I know that we would like to
to continue without a condom/oral too.
I am afraid that perhaps my mouth can cause
warts again.
