but, do you have a problem or not? Visit your doctor to find out.
And before you assume that it was a provider that caused your situation, remember, genital warts, like many other STD's develop at least weeks, and sometimes months after exposure. Unless your provider friend is the only woman you have been with in some time, I wouldn't automatically assume that she was the source.
If your doc does diagnose you with genital warts, a common, treatable, non-life threatening condition, you might want to contact her to let her know to take the necessary medical actions.
I am new to this i have never been with a provider before and i am nervous about STD’s
My question is. Are most if not all provider very cautious about getting STDs HIV?
Thanks
we all hope to catch it.
So long as you are not a homosexual male, do not share needles and do not engage in high-risk activity ("Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection"), it's harder to catch HIV than you'd think. Less than 300 people caught HIV from means "other" than those three things (2005 estimate, USA) out of a population of over 300,000,000. If you want to consider sex with sex workers "high risk", the total number in 2005 was 13,486- and I'm willing to bet that most of those were from not wearing protection: condoms are extremely effective in preventing HIV transmission.
The risk is still there, of course. So you can either play safe or not play at all.

Unfortunately, I m not sure ALL providers are as careful as you say they are. I recently had an encounter with a provider and think I may have picked up genital warts from one. I had never used a provider before or since.

I've seen only well reviewed established providers and they have all been very meticulous about safe sex- It's their life too and their living. So far, I feel safer with them than I would a civvie
