Hello,
Common warts that occur on the finger are caused by a different strain of HPV which causes genital warts. If the guy had warts on his finger,it is unlikely that you will get genital warts but the possibility of common warts on the body cannot be denied. Close skin contact is required for transmission of virus and it is shed even if the person does not have any active lesions. If you get cauliflower type growths or brown bumps anywhere on the body, then please consult a dermatologist.
Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
