What is the risk of me passing on genital warts from non penetrative sex

I had genital warts approx 10 years ago. Recently I had a drunken fling with a colleague. We did not have penetrative sex but did have oral and our genitals touched a few times. To my horror a week later what i thought was a spot on my scrotum turned out to be a tiny wart. I think it was there before my encounter. Both of us are married. What are the chances I have passed this on to her? I know I have to tell her but is it 100% she is now infected?

Chances are very low. It really takes a lot of genital skin rubbing to pass the virus. She should get tested anyway but the average time from infection to a positive result is 2-3 months.

Thanks for the reply, it's helped to put my mind at ease a bit..Contact was minimal so hopefully all ok. Any other views or thoughts greatly appreciated.. Thanks
