The same applies to when they are being laundered. Keep everything separate and run them through a separate wash cycle as well. I always recommend using the hottest cycle possible as this will go far in killing off any germs or bacteria that may come with the genital warts virus. Or if you don¡¯t mind the hassle, and if your clothes and towels can stand it, I tend to soak clothing in boiling water first.
Obviously care needs to be taken not to burn yourself into the bargain, but a pair of heavy duty gloves along with a little bit of common sense can take care of that. If you¡¯re going to use a boiling water soak, you don¡¯t really need to handle the clothes or towels, but the gloves will keep you protected when absentmindedness might set in at the wrong moment.
To avoid spreading the genital warts to other areas of your body, wash your hands every time they come into contact with infected skin areas. When drying off after a shower, if you pat the infected areas dry with a second towel, which you should then put to launder immediately, you should have a successful chance of stopping the genital warts virus from spreading.
This might entail a few more washing loads than you would normally do, but the rewards far outweigh the effort needed and is something that you can do of your own accord to stop the genital warts infection from going any further than yourself. By doing this you also eliminate the possibility for there to be any last lingering traces of the infection anywhere on your personal belongings. This is good in that you know that you can¡¯t become infected again because of carelessness.
