The exact same thing happened to me.
I have had HPV for 6+ years. About a year and 1/2 ago I developed genital warts. I went to the doctor and got a cream called Aldara which worked great. Then, about 6 months later my fiance (boyfriend at the time) developed genital warts. Although it's technically against the law to share prescriptions, I had a little Aldara left over and gave it to him to use. It cleared them right up.
Every person is different though. What works well for others, may not work well for you. If you have genital warts you should see your doctor. Do NOT use over the counter products.
A doctor can prescribe a cream that the person can use at their convenience and at their home. Aldara cream and Condylox cream are available with a prescription.
If these creams don't work or the doctor doesn't want to try them, the doctor might suggest applying medication at the office. This is done by the doctor, is done in several visits and can be pretty expensive. Some of the medications that can be used include: Podophyllin resin (Podofin), Intralesional (injected into wart lesion) interferon, Fluorouracil (Efudex, Fluoroplex), and Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or bichloroacetic acid (BCA).
A person can also have surgery to remove genital warts by freezing (cryosurgery), burning (electrocautery), or laser treatment. Surgery is occasionally used to remove large warts that have not responded to other treatment.
Although treatments can get rid of the warts, they do not get rid of HPV, so warts can recur after treatment. The body's immune system typically clears the virus anywhere from 8 to 13 months, but it occasionally remains in the body for a lifetime.
Take care!

I work for a urologist and we see this all the time. The medication for genital warts is very expensive and it can cause them to be quite painful during treatment, because it is a cream that you put directly on them. The other options are to have a "freeze" done, which is kinda like the stuff you buy over the counter for warts on your fingers, but it is done in a dr's office, we charge $600 for it. Or you could have them removed with a laser which is done in the hospital, so without insurance it would be quite expensive also. Most of the free clinics don't carry that type of medication because it is so expensive. Even if the ones you currently have are removed there is always a chance of recurrence. The medication that can be prescribed is called Aldara.

Hell No!!! You must go to the doctor and your gf better go back ASAP as you have probably re-infected her. You will be likely spreading this for the rest of your life. Condoms are not even close to a guarentee that your sex partners won't get it. I hope you and you gf get married so you don't spread this to poor unsuspecting women who will end up with cervical cancer

Not that I know of, you could go to plan parenthood they might be able to help. You need to see a doctor, HPV can be serious and won't just go away.

Nope, you need to go to the doctor to get them removed. Don not postpone, the smaller they are, the less painful it will be.
