Dear Sir,
Thank you for explaining your situation in detail.
The fact that you have been free of genital warts for the past 10 months is a very encouraging sign. Although the visible warts have resolved, it is important to understand that HPV can sometimes remain dormant in the skin, so it is not possible to guarantee a zero risk of transmission. However, the risk generally decreases significantly with time when there is no recurrence.
It is also reassuring that both you and your fiancée have received two doses of the Gardasil 9 vaccine, with the third dose scheduled soon. Vaccination provides excellent protection against the HPV types most commonly responsible for genital warts and several HPV-related cancers, although it does not completely eliminate the risk.
Using condoms during the initial months after marriage is a sensible precaution and can further reduce the chance of HPV transmission, although condoms cannot provide 100% protection because HPV can infect areas not covered by a condom.
If you remain wart-free until your marriage, there is generally no medical reason to postpone pregnancy planning. Before trying to conceive, I recommend completing the third dose of the Gardasil 9 vaccine as scheduled and having a follow-up examination to ensure there is no recurrence of warts.
Continue to monitor for any new growths or lesions. If any wart reappears, seek treatment promptly and avoid sexual contact until it has been evaluated and managed.
I wish you both a healthy and happy married life. If you have any further concerns, consult a qualified sexologist or dermatologist for a final pre-marital assessment.

It is reassuring that you have been wart-free for the past 10 months after completing treatment for genital warts. In addition, your dermatologist has confirmed that there is no clinical evidence of recurrence, and both you and your future wife have received two doses of Gardasil 9, with the third dose planned before your marriage. These are all favorable factors.
However, it is important to understand that HPV behaves differently from many other sexually transmitted infections. Even after visible warts have been successfully treated, there is no test that can confirm the complete elimination of HPV in men. Fortunately, the risk of transmitting HPV decreases significantly over time when there has been no recurrence, particularly after many months, and vaccination further reduces the risk of infection with the HPV types covered by the vaccine. While it is not possible to state an exact percentage or guarantee zero risk, your current situation is considerably more reassuring than during the period when you had active warts.
Regarding pregnancy, a previous history of treated genital warts does not prevent you from planning a healthy pregnancy. If there are no active genital warts at the time of intercourse, couples can have a normal married sexual life. Using condoms during the initial months is a reasonable choice if both of you are comfortable with it, as condoms reduceâbut do not completely eliminateâthe risk of HPV transmission because HPV can infect nearby skin not covered by the condom. Once you both decide to conceive, it is reasonable to discontinue condom use and have unprotected intercourse.
Next Steps
Complete the third dose of Gardasil 9 as scheduled for both you and your future wife. Continue to monitor yourself for any new genital growths and seek medical evaluation promptly if you notice any recurrence before or after marriage. Open communication with your partner about your previous HPV infection is also advisable so that both of you can make informed decisions together and begin your married life with confidence.

Health Tips
Maintain a healthy lifestyle with adequate sleep, regular exercise, and a balanced diet to support your immune system. Avoid smoking and tobacco use, as they are associated with HPV persistence and recurrence. Practice good genital hygiene and avoid unnecessary anxiety by repeatedly examining the treated area, as post-treatment scars are common after wart removal procedures. Overall, after 10 months without recurrence, successful treatment, and near-complete HPV vaccination in both partners, your outlook is very reassuring, and most couples in similar situations go on to have a healthy marital life and successful pregnancies without any significant HPV-related complications. Thank you

The risk of transmitting HPV to your future wife is significantly lower since you have remained wart free for 10 months but it is not completely zero as HPV can persist without visible warts.
Completing the 3-dose Gardasil 9 vaccination for both of you it will provide the best protection.
Using condoms during the initial months after marriage is a reasonable precaution although condoms reduce but do not completely eliminate HPV transmission because skin not covered by the condom can still carry the virus.
If you both decide to conceive, having unprotected intercourse is generally allowed specially if there are no recurrent warts and both partners are vaccinated.
Continue to monitor for any recurrence and if new lesions appear avoid sexual contact until they are evaluated and treated.
Routine cervical cancer screening for your wife should be done as recommended for her age.
I hope you found this answer helpfully..
Thank you.
Good that both of you are on Gardasil 9 â after her 3rd dose in September, she'll have full protection against the wart-causing HPV types (6, 11). Being wart-free for 10 months is reassuring. Use condoms until her 3rd dose is done. After that, transmission risk is very low for the specific strains covered. For pregnancy planning, discuss with your gynecologist â the vaccination coverage significantly reduces but doesn't eliminate all HPV risk.
