Hello,
If these are the genital warts, then they can get transmitted through sexual contact and it highly depends on the immunity of the recipient, some getting it easily while others not. Besides, it can also get transmitted by fomites, like towels, clothes etc. Eradicate your partners virus. Condoms have been reported to fail in stopping the transmission, so that is not recommended either.
