R u guys serious???? HPV is one type of virus but there are over 100 specific strains. The virus that causes warts on the hands and body CAN NOT be transferred to the genitals OR the other way around.
The only way genital warts can be transferred is by skin to skin genital contact or sometimes through sharing of damp towels etc and in very few reported cases it can spread to someones throat through oral sex.
Strains 6 and 11 cause genital warts and are considered "low risk" because are generally not responsible for the changes in the cervix that lead to cervical cancer. There are other strains which are referred to as "high risk" which are found in 99% of cervical cancer samples.
U may have heard of gardisil, which protects against cervical cancer. This is actually a HPV vaccine designed for 4 different strains of HPV, the two most common strains that lead to genital warts, and the two that are considered "high risk" for cervical cancer. This vaccine does not protect against warts found on the hands or body.

The genital warts causing virus is called the 'Human Papilloma Virus"(HPV).
In women, genital warts occur on the outside and inside of the vagina, on the opening to the uterus (cervix), or around the anus.
In men, genital warts are less common. If present, they usually are seen on the tip of the penis. They also may be found on the shaft of the penis, on the scrotum, or around the anus.
Rarely, genital warts also can develop in your mouth or throat if you have oral sex with an infected person.
It spreads through direct contact. So becareful....
I'm not too sure whether they could affect your fingers. These warts can grow into very ugly things. They could be cancerous as well...
So,why don't you consult a doctor before it gets out of hand?

Yes. HPV causes ALL warts. There are over 120 different kinds of HPV and only about 30 of them are sexually transmitted.
HPV can cause warts on the hands, feet, elbows, knees, and the genital area, as well as other places on the body. The "kinds" or "strains" of HPV that cause warts on the hands for example, are different from the kinds that cause warts on the genital area though. Certain kinds of HPV are responsible for different things. But, ALL warts are caused by HPV.
Take care!
