: Hard to know. The HPV vaccine (Gardasil) prevents infection with the two HPV types that cause 90% of genital warts -- but that still leaves a fair chance of infection with another wart-causing HPV type. Condoms are not very effective prevention against HPV. See your gyn or other doctor for evaluation of the bumps. Good luck.
