Thanks for contacting HCM.
I am sorry to hear that you had genital warts as a young adult. Genital warts are by definition an HPV infection. You have been symptom free for over 16-17 years so you have produced your own antibodies. If you no longer have warts and your husband has not had any outbreaks then the chance for him getting the is very low. I feel I can reassure you that you do not need to worry.
Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again for any of your medical questions.
