yes you proberly do it only takes once and yes it is hpv me and my fiance both have it not sure who gave it to who weve been together for 61/2yrs so just like us if u are going to stay with this girl and continue having sex there is not point in having them burnt off if you get them cause they can just come back
but you should get a check anyway with me i have the hpv virus but no visable warts but u can see his
she has to be carful because hpv is the leading cause of cervical cancer and getting abnormal pap smear results i did when i was 17 and had to get a bi opsy

He is likely a carrier of HPV but is unlikely to becom infected with genital warts because she did not have an outbreak within that time, Its still a good idea to be tested for all std's now while its in ur mind.

Heres solution
Genital warts grow on the penis and in and around the entrance to the vagina and anus. They are caused by a family of viruses known as human papillomavirus (HPV) that are transmitted during sexual intercourse. The CDC estimates that there are 5.5 million new cases of genital warts in the United States each year. Genital warts are treatable with topical medications and can be removed with minor surgical procedures. Certain types of HPV that cause genital infections can also cause cervical cancer. Regular pap smear screenings can detect abnormalities at an early stage, when they can more easily be treated to prevent cancer developing. The first vaccine against HPV strains that can cause genital warts and cervical cancer was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and by Health Canada in 2006. Sold under the brand name Gardasil, the new vaccine completely prevented infections in women in nearly all clinical trials.

You must have got it.
Yes, it is HPV.
Do You Have Genital Warts?
Genital warts can be as small as a point and may not be visible to the eyes easily or they may grow in a group and form cauliflower-like shape distinctly. Once you know how to identify genital warts from similar problems such as small boils, ingrown hair, etc. you can take treatment to clear them.
In Both Men & Women:
Warts may appear in small or big sizes near the anus, outer genitals, area between genitals and anus. In women, the warts grow on the vulva, in the vaginal walls, in the cervix. In men, they may be found on the shaft or tip of the penis, and testicles. Genital warts may also develop in mouth if oral sex is performed with an infected person. Along with the bumps, the warts may be accompanied with burning or itching and pain during intercourse. The warts are commonly gray, red or pink in color.

First off hpv is not a std it's a sti , about 80% of people will have atleast one strained in their life time , there is no test that's approved by the FDA to test men for Hpv , the odds are likely that you do have it , but at this point it's not who gave it to who .

You may be infected with condyloma acuminata and require medical treatment. Large warts are usually burned off by liquid nitrogen but there are follow-up drugs too. It is a STD...both you and your girlfriend need medical care. It is not life-threatening but can be very uncomfortable as they affect the anal area.
