Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic
Genital warts are caused by HPV. The only possible way to get genital warts is through unprotected sex with an infected partner.
HPV can remain dormant for months or years and therefore it is very much possible that you got HPV infection from your husband even though he did not develop any visible warts.
Treatment of warts is usually by ablation with either Radiofrequency cautery, Electrocautery, Or Co 2 Laser ablation.
A females infection with high risk HPV types (type 16 and type 18) can also lead to cervical cancer; typing of virus is usually done on Viral DNA samples taken from the cervix.
Monitoring with regular Pap smears and colposcopy to look for any early cancerous changes is part of management of HPV infection in females infected with high risk HPV types.
Regards
