Even if you have never physically had genital warts and your pap smears have been normal, it's still possible for you to have the virus and spread it to others.
I have had HPV for 6+ years and I have had normal pap smears for the last 2 years (all the ones before were abnormal). I developed genital warts from my HPV about a year and 1/2 ago. Not only did it take 5 years for the warts to show up after I was diagnosed, but I've had normal pap smears also.
It's also possible that he contracted the virus from a previous partner and is just now showing signs of it. HPV can take several months and even years to show signs of it, like genital warts. It took me about 5 years to get genital warts! So, it can take a long time!
I wouldn't worry about "who gave it to who" because you'll probably never know. It's best to just move on and get the warts treated.
I would also suggest that you get the vaccine Gardasil. It protects women from 4 different kinds of HPV - two are known to cause about 90% of genital wart cases and the other two are known to cause about 70% of cervical cancer cases. Talk to your doctor more about this. Good luck!

hmmm. . . if you have never had warts in your genital region i'm pretty sure you can't give them to someone else. Do you ever check yourself out? . . . you maybe had a slight outbreak at one point that went unnoticed. You could have gotten them from someone and not ever noticed, and they wouldn't notice at the paps if you didn't have a breakout at the time either. Or on one hand he could have picked it up by sharing a towel or clothes (any kind of contact with something that has touched someone elses breakout). Maybe a buddy had some and he borrowed their towel. . . it's not like they would have come up over night either, he may have had the virus for awhile. Worst case scenario. . . he got them from someone else and cheated in the process but he's to embarassed or ashamed to come clean about it.
Best of luck to you. . . keep in mind, use protection and if he doesn't have a visible breakout, he can't spread them!
. . . OHH!!! and unless he definetely got checked out to find that he has "genital warts" . . . they might not even be . . . they might be moluscum contagiosum, and you can get those from other ways than sex too! and they are treatable! just want you to explore all your options and not to get too worked up or toss the relationship out for something so petty.

not everyone who has hpv (genital warts) has the warts that physically show up, most women don't have outward symptoms they can have hpv an not know it but it can make women sterile. first off: he can not know that he got it from you, secondly: if he did get it from you, then you both would have it an more sex would not cause any more problems at this stage, sounds like he cheated, knows he got it from there, knows that you dnt have it an is trying to keep from giving it to you. he reason for not having sex with you is flawed when tested with logic. get yourself tested an find out if he has given it to you. warts is not an outbreak disease you get it an you have it thats it, no outbreaks as with genital herpes.
good luck

hpv virus can remain dormant before syptoms manifest, either u or he may have contracted the disease some time ago. 4 in 5 women will be exposed to the hpv virus at some stage in their lives, it will mostly resolve itself naturally without them knowing they even had it,some will go on to contract cervical cancer.the new gardasil vaccine is a great preventative toward C.V. for young women

He had to blame somebody. He doesn't want to admit to you that he has been sleeping with someone else. But for your safety just go and get check out again sweetie. You'll never know.
