The warts are likely being caused by HPV or Human Papillomavirus. This is a very common virus that is considered an STD because it is transmitted by skin to skin contact. I understand that this must have come as a suprise to you but the tricky thing about HPV is that it can lie dormant in the body for years and never cause any symptoms at all. I would not think that HPV would be reported since it is so common. Even with proper protection, you can still transmit HPV.

Since HPV is a virus, there is no cure. However, with regular pap smears and special procedures to remove the abnormal cells from your cervix, this can help to control it.
