genital warts

My husband had genital warts 20 years ago, i dated him around that time, we went on with our own lives til 2003. I did not have any warts at that time. He has not had a breakout since then but to my surprise today I have them. I am confused did he recently fool around or is it possible that it is from along time ago?  I need to know. I have read here and there that your immune system cures it tru or not?

There is no reason to think he's been fooling around.  You could have contracted them years ago from another partner.  The statements you read about the immune system curing warts are vague generalities that don't tell you or anyone else about their specific situation.

Best.
