Hello,
Thank you for asking at HCM.
Warts in genital area are not caused by HIV so the fact that you have genital warts does not mean you have HIV. The reason the doctor is asking you to have HIV test done is because warts in genital area are considered a sexually transmitted disease and when a patient has one of them we test for all the rest and HIV among them. Most of patients tested for sexually transmitted disease do not have the other ones but is always safer to be tested to rule them out. So testing for HIV is a routine test than rather you having it. Also you will need to practice safe sex which is intercourse within a faithful relationship or at least using of condoms otherwise, even though condoms do not protect 100% from sexually transmitted diseases.
Hope this is helpful and answers to your question.
