    Dont know if this is the right forum for this question, if not please move mods.

    I have a friend(serious) that has contracted genital warts and wont go to an STI clinic to get them removed and was wanting to know can a doctor get rid of them. The reason why he wont go to the clinic is that his wife works in the hospital and doesnt want her to see him sitting in the waiting area of said clinic.

    Ive been telling him thats the least of his worries because when his wife finds out that hes contracted these and potentially gave her them, he'll be getting his marching orders.

    He's been telling me that hes only slept with his wife twice and it was months apart and doesnt see any signs and wont be sleeping with her again untill he gets this sorted and wants to know can the doctor treat him instead.

    Mod note:
    Serious discussion here, if there are any unhelpful posts action will be taken by the Mods of the forum.

    His wife seems like a tool

    surely there is more than one clinic in the city to which he can attend? Or go the day that his wife isn't working?

    If if puts his mind at ease, most GPs can easily treat this, but there is also the question of what if anything else he might have picked up so a full screen would definitely be in order

    Perhaps somewhere outside of Dublin?

    GP most certainly will treat this. It's a very straightforward problem in most cases, and can be effectively dealt with by use of a prescribed topical treatment.

    There are a load of places around Dublin that are 'private' practices & will do tests & treatments for a fee (or anywhere in Ireland) - UNBELIEVABLE that this guy wants to keep it from his wife - this is where the utmost respect for someone comes in!!

    Obviously not a great marriage if he only expects to sleep with her in a couple of months & hopes to be sorted by then! Very strange.

    My auntie ( serious!) caught herpes off her husband (lying cheater) - and now every relationship she ventures into, has to have the lovely conversation - well, eh, I've got herpes - It’s not cool to knowingly know you have something and infect someone - especially someone you 'love/care' about..... really - tell your friend to cop on!

    Here I am, on my high horse judging - no-one knows the specific circumstances do they? But there are a hundred places he can be treated - James's is free - the Matter hospital is free - then there are places that charge anywhere from 100-200 euro for test & consultations. Hope this helps & was not too judgmental!
