. I just woke up the other day and there they were, seriously. When my wife was pregnant with our first child they told her she had signs of HPV "A wart". Since then she has not had a wart or an abnormal pap
smears. It is possible that your wife's body passed the strain causing her warts and now for some reason you are having symptoms. Stress, low immune system issues can cause this. The two of you share the same strains so you can't bounce it back and forth between you. You should see a dermatologist to confirm this is what you have. While I have warts we are using condoms to help prevent transmission. Even though we share HPV he has never had symptoms and warts are very contagious.
