U should treat.The doctor will use medicine and apply on warts,they will off.

Dear hoss1,

The wart virus can stay in the skin for 1-2yrs after successful treatment of warts. However, the majority of risk of transmission comes from the warts themselves, thus unlikely that you would pass it on. Condoms are always a good idea though!

Kind regards.
