My husband has a genital wart on his anal area. Can I possibly get this from him if we have sexual intercourse? I am kinda worried about this. Does this ever turn into HIV if not treated?

HPV (the virus that causes warts) can be spread whether warts are present or not. If you have sex with him or any kind of DIRECT skin to skin contact with the infected area you can contract HPV.
I personally contracted HPV (and genital herpes) from a guy who was showing NO signs or symptoms of either virus. I also passed HPV to my fiance (boyfriend at the time) and I hadn't had genital warts for over a year!
And, no, HPV NEVER turns into HIV. HPV and HIV are two VERY different viruses and have nothing to do with each other.

Confirmed. I mean nope. HIV? Negative. It is very likely, however, that you are already infected with HPV. HPV is an extremely contagious virus transmitted by direct skin to skin contact. While it would be too early to worry about the warts, certain precautions can be taken (vitamins, etc.).
It is estimated that 30% or more of the population is already infected with HPV yet only a small minority develops genital warts so don't worry. What would happen in your case depends mainly on the state of your immune system. If your immune system and genetics is up to par, the virus level can't exceed the threshold needed for wart formulation. Otherwise, genital warts will appear within 3 weeks to one year after infection. :(
Don't forget that genital warts are different from ordinary warts that grow on other parts of the body. They also require specific treatment. You just can't freeze or cut them off. Not just because of the highly sensitive nature of the genital area - genital warts are caused by a slightly different version of the virus and actually need different treatment. Usually it's not the same virus strain than causes the majority of plantar warts, for example.
You definitely need a treatment, I mean both of you. If I were you I would think about starting a multiple-vitamins regimen with minerals to keep my immune system healthy. But believe me, you can hold off this pest simply by thinking the right things and feeling good. In my opinion, diseases are really just sins, imperfections of our mind projected outwardly.
Anyway, your husband needs genital (perianal) wart treatment asap. Sure he will not develop cervical cancer, but lately HPV infection is recognized as an increased risk factor for head (tonsil) and neck cancer as well, which affects both sexes. It's not necessary to go to the doctor, nowadays there are many effective home treatments available. You can read about some of them here.

# How is genital warts contracted? Through oral, anal, and vaginal sex and through skin-to-skin contact. To help prevent infection, use a condom. It's not clear exactly how effective condoms are at protecting against HPV and genital warts, but they will protect you against other STDs, including HIV. Some HPV types cause flat endocervical or anal lesions that are precancerous.
Your husband might have acquired genital warts from elsewhere. It can spread through skin to skin contact. Genital warts will not turn into HIV. Genital warts are the leading cause for cervical cancer in women. You can prevent genital warts partly by using a condom (not 100% safe) and by taking HPV vaccine (Gardasil).
Please see the web pages for more details on Genital warts, HPV and Gardasil.

I got identified with the herpes simplex virus (type 2) about 4 yrs ago, whilst I was still attending college and had a silly one-night stand. I understand a lot of people say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. After all, who wants to go out with someone who has sores around her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/4eryG everything got better.
Not only was I able to eliminate all traces of the hsv from my system in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just a week ago, in front of everybody in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This system gave me back the chance to be happy and experience real love again. Now I want to help others too by sharing this story.
