Veryworried is correct in that 6 months would be the known earliest and most often takes one year for any warts to show up.

Some answers, per what I know:

1. Their diagnosis was right. It is impossible to get warts in 3 days.
2. This also means that when you were having sex with your wife, you had HPV. Either she gave it to you from a prior relationship or you had it from a prior relationship.
3. Given #2 above, she has what you have. It is impossible for her not to have it too. She should be tested yearly or every 3 years even if she has no warts. There is no down side to her being tested as a precaution.
4. After you are wart-free, most doctors believe that you are no longer infectious, at that time. This does not mean you will not be infectious some day. Could be years/decades from now. Or not. The majority never become infectious again but there is no clear understanding of who is in this majority or why. There are some doctors (and some in the CDC) who claim that the infected are always infectious. This is not really proven statistically for men because men cannot be tested. However, there some women who go years/decades with neg results only to get a positive result 20+ years later with no explaination why (partner did not cheat). This crazy positive result after years of negative result can only mean that some unlucky people become infectious.
5. You and your wife should assume that you are both infected with the same strains and therefore should resume your sex life again. It is silly not to have sex with her again. Your six month wait is enough time for you to be considered "not infectious" at this time.

Please try to remain monogamous and please understand that for most people, that this is just a cosmetic disease and there are no serious health issues later on. Good luck!
