When genital warts are removed how likely is transmission of the virus?
I started developing what looked like skin tags on my genital region, I asked a doctor about them and she said i could remove them by tiing a string around them. So I did. 3 months later I was diagnosed with having genital warts. I had them treated and now I have no warts. Will I give all my partners HPV if I have sex now? Is the string method just as good as any other method or do I have to kill the skin around the wart to?
You can still give your partners the virus even though you don't have warts. You still have the virus.
I know that because I got it from an ex-boyfriend who showed no symptoms - no warts. I got it from skin contact from his member resting on me. My first wart outbreak was in that spot.
Don't have sex and don't have any body contact there if you don't want to pass the virus on. Yes, I am serious.

you cannot cure hpv, no matter how many warts or skin tags you remove you have the disease and will transmit the virus to anyone you have unprotected sex with, so always always always use a condom.

Pretty much that virus is imbedded in your skin cells so it will always be with you. Your immune system will hopefully keep them in check but you need to treat them ASAP if they reappear.
You could potentially spread HPV to anyone for the rest of your life.
