You might have passed the virus or you might not have. There really is no way to know.
A woman can be tested for HPV but a man can't. There is no test for men to detect HPV.

To answer your question directly, yes there is a chance that you did NOT, but it is SLIM.
You BOTH need to seek medical attention, for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Did a little research on this one and found a site at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases that you should definitely check out regarding genital warts also known as HPV or the Human papillomavirus.
Here is the link:
http://www.niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/stdhpv.htm
In a nutshell, multiple sources recognize the need for treatment of the outbreaks. The disease is HIGHLY contagious, not only to the genitals, but to the mouth and throat if they are exposed. Unfortunately, the disease is directly linked to several forms of cancer, especially cervical. So treating, recognizing, and reigning in the hormones is a must in order to avoid the long term consequences not just to you, but you your partner(s).
Whatever you choose to do, don't be a stooge and neglect to tell your partner of the risk you have just exposed him or her to. Chances are, you have both been exposed to more than you realize.
Hope this helps, and remember, if you cant see a doc for fear or financial reasons, there are clinics available to help you get low cost testing and treatment.

There's no way knowing you transmitted your HPV to this guy unless he's tested, for that you'll have to tell him of your problem, genital warts or HPV (Human Papiloma Virus) sometimes develop withing days and sometimes they became dormant in the nervous system and can outbreak even years after being acquired. You need be honest with him.
Now, you also need to see a physician, you cannot leave that unattended.

Genital warts are caused by the human papillom virus. It is spread very easily. I would venture to say that you gave him the virus.
Check out the link below for more information on HPV.

If you knowingly had sex with that person when you have genital warts...you need locking up...however, they are very infectious and you have probably given them to that person. Go tell them face to face and both get treatment fast.
Best wishes, Mike.

If they were active warts the odds are quite high that you will spread them, but nothing is 100%.

There is a chance that you have not spread the disease, but you should tell the other person so that they can get treatment. Next time use condoms and stop spreading diseases that you know you have.

its possible, it can take up to 6 months for them to appear. go to your doctor to the get them sorted, it can lead to cervical cancer if left untreated, and until they clear up try using a condom, you wont catch anything else then either
