Are Vaginal Warts Contagious To Others?

I was diagnosed with vaginal warts about a year ago. I have had them removed with liquid nitrogen several times. I recently had sex with a new lover, believing I was wart free, however, I recently went to the doctor to have the area checked out and discovered I had an outbreak. They were so small she said I probably couldn't feel them. My question is how likely is it that a past them on to my new partner? We did use a condom, but condoms don't cover the entire area. I did let my partner know as soon as a realized I had an outbreak, he will be going to his doctor. I'm just having severe anxiety about this situation, and I just want to know if he contracting warts is inevitable.
