I went to the Dr. because my b.f saw some bumps on my butthole area and near my vagina. They told me that it was Genital Warts. But i dont know, it doesnt look gross and it doesnt really hurt. I saw some pictures on the internet of what it looks like but they dont look like mine. My Boy friend is the one who gave them to me because he is the only one i have been with. But he doesnt have an out break, he has some on his hands now but we dont know if that is even whar they are. Some one who has had it 0r knows about it i would appreciate it if some one would help me and tell me about it.!!!!!!!!!

It can be passed from skin to skin and people with herpes are most infectious BEFORE you can see it.

You said that it can be passed on from skin to skin contact and people with Herpes are most infectiouse? Well, does that mean that people with Herpes can pass on Genital Warts too?? Because i have Genital Warts..??? My b.f has some sort of bumpies on his penis now too and we dont know if that is what that is but he has them on his fingers and on his ear. So, they can be spreaded that quickly?? because i have them down there, and he doesnt and, he is getting them on other parts of his body..??

Sounds like your BF is clearly infected now. Herpes and Genital warts (papilloma) are viruses. You can infect other people and not have symptoms yourself.
For women, having genital warts means you must always have your yearly female pelvic exam. Genital warts is clearly associated with cervical cancer, meaning the warts can become cancerous on your cervix. Make sure you have your pap smear every year to be extra safe..and next time...try wearing condoms.
Even though they are not 100% effective against GW they are the best protedtion you can get.

There is a lot of misinformation about genital warts on this posting. I would suggest you check out www.ashastd.org. That is a website with very accurate information about HPV the virus that can cause genital warts.
Here is some information from the HPVtest.com
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a very common virus that infects skin cells as well as the body's mucous membranes. About 70 percent of the more than 100 types of HPV infect the skin, where the most frequent problem they can cause is warts. The other 30 percent of HPV types (about 23) primarily target the genital and reproductive areas of the body, and are transmitted from one person to the other through intimate sexual contact. Low-risk types of "genital HPV" can cause genital warts, a condition easily treated. However, high-risk types (13 of the 23) can trigger dysplasia, abnormal cell changes that may lead to cancer. iii

It is estimated that 80 percent of sexually active adults will acquire "genital HPV" by the age of 50 • making it the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States. Typically, the infection is transient, disappearing within three to 15 months without any noticeable symptoms or permanent effects. However, infection persists in about 10-12 percent of women, and if high-risk types of HPV are involved (an estimated half to three-quarters of affected individuals), serious cervical disease (including cancer) may result.
