genital warts?

ok i have a question...and im freaking out.....im a 21 year old female whos had 6 partners in the last 5.5 years.....all have been monogamous relationships....i have been with a guy 11 months now and weve had no problems......i have ALWAYS used protection with every guy ive been with other than my current bf in which weve only went without maybe 6 times in almost a year...just under a year ago i was diagnosed with HPV when my pap came back abnormal and have been keeping checked every 6 months since...i have never had warts of any sort.....my thought is it could be from my current bf but who really knows.....

about a week ago i noticed a dark lesion that looked like a wart in his pubic hair region...when i took a closer look there were about 3 dark raised lesions (one larger one where he had previously had a bleeding wound from having and ingrown hair) in this area and a few Skin-tag looking (flesh colored) right at the base of his shaft on the pubic hair region and spreading slightly upward on the base (where there is also pubic hair)

we have been together a year and i just cant see how this could be something just coming out now...he has also always used protection with previous partners.....i was always under the influence that i had the type of HPV causing cervical cancer, not warts.....what could this be, it seems so unlikely to be warts....please help?!?!

It is rare, but HPV can get around condoms. It got me.

In my opinion, there is a strong chance that your current boyfriend transmitted the virus to you. I recently contracted the virus while using protection with a casual sex partner. I also have a long term partner who is under the impression that we are monogomous. I think there is a good chance that you are in a similar situation. I wish you this best.
