Some genital warts are so small you can not see them. Correct usage of latex prophylactics substantially minimizes, but does not entirely remove, the risk of catching or spreading HPV. If your or your partner is sensitive to latex, you can use polyurethane condoms. HPV vaccines may help stop several of the HPV infections that cause genital warts.
