thank you for query.Warts can spread form skin to skin contact or as std.but not all touch and contacts can transmit.it depends on duration of contact the viral load which has come in contact and inserted and the immune status of person.also the incubation period of warts can vary from months to year.Take treatment like podophyllin resins like podowart or cryotherapy on discussion with your doctor.HPV vaccines are available you can consult the doctor for vaccines which will help in protection against warts and cervical cancers.You can get back for any clarifications.Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist
