Can high risk hpv be spread to someone as low risk hpv

[Melk2011]

I have recently found out by my ex that his new girlfriend has found out that she caught hpv and has warts that needed to be froze off and he was letting me know so I can be checked..I have had hpv for two years now but it is the high risk kind and I've never had warts. I just educated myself on hpv and didn't realize it was a sexual transmitted thing because cancer has ran in my family so bad that I didn't think anything of it when the doctor mentions my hpv was high risk, I thought it meant my levels of something to do with cancer. Stupid I know.. So my question is.. If I have high risk hpv was it transmitted to him and then given to her as low risk hpv with warts if I have never had a wart or any symptoms?

No, high risk cannot become low risk. The absence of warts does not mean you don't have low risk too. Most sexually active adults have both high and low risk strains. Multiple strains are very common. If you had high risk while dating him, then then he probably has it too but he can't be tested for it.

For some reason, people with the low risk strains don't always get warts. No one knows why but the weakness of one's immune system may cause warts to appear. 50% of all people who have the low risk strains do not get warts and since men cannot be tested for it, they think the absence of warts means that they don't have it. That's just wishful thinking....
