Most genital warts are low risk HPV types 6 and 11. So yes, you have a Human Papilloma Virus type.

Yes. You can have HPV even if you have seen no warts, but if you have warts that you can see or feel, and you have been to the MD and have been diagnosed as having genital warts, then you have HPV.
From the CDC website:
"Some of these viruses are called "high-risk" types, and may cause abnormal Pap tests. They may also lead to cancer of the cervix, vulva, vagina, anus, or penis. Others are called "low-risk" types, and they may cause mild Pap test abnormalities or genital warts. Genital warts are single or multiple growths or bumps that appear in the genital area, and sometimes are cauliflower shaped."
You should check our their information sheet about HPV. There is a lot of good information there!
