Not necessarily: It is possible that either or both of you were exposed to hpv (the virus that causes warts) from a prior partner. The virus can remain dormant for years; 70% of people with hpv have no symptoms.

Agree with Dr. T: If both of you are under 45, it is not too late to get HPV vaccination.
