Help me understand

I have been with the same man since June 2007.  Prior to him, my last sexual partner and I ended February 2007.  About 2 months ago, I got out of bed and felt "crampy". I made the comment that I just fee weird.  I avoided sex with him, as I felt something odd.  I started it itch in my anal area.  Then I noticed some white bumps.  We had sex one more time, and have not since.  I did some research and decided this is what I have.  I told my partner what I suspected, and he immediately said he has not been with anyone else, nor have I.  He went to the doctor prior to me and came back and said he was 100% okay.  I went to the doctor and my suspicions were right.  He prescribed some cream that I have to put on for 16 weeks!  I am going to ask my partner just how the doctor determined that he is 100% okay.

My questions is this - could it be possible that I contracted it from my prior partner?  Is it possible that this partner does not have it, even though he was exposed?  Do you think it is possible that I "felt" the virus enter my body when I had that strange feeling?

Thanks for your time and input.

HPV is spread pretty easily.  It is possible your partner has it but shows no symptoms. There are many types of HPV.  Some cause cervical cell changes and others cause warts.  Warts are low risk types of HPV from what I understand.   A lot of people get HPV and never show any physical symptoms which makes it scary.  I never even heard of HPV (and I thought I was well educated on STDS to begin with) until I was diagnosed with it.  I mean, when I was diagnosed two months before that I had a pap smear done and HPV was not there and two months later it was.  
I doubt you felt the virus enter your body.  What you felt could have been anything.  I would suggest learning about HPV.  There is a lot of information out there but some websites can hype it up and scare the **** out of you.  
I don't think a vinegar solution is always 100% accurate.  It can help a doctor find warts but it may also show normal skin as being something when it's not but I could be wrong on that.  Your partner may have it but just show no symptoms now if ever.  A lot of people sometimes have it but are just considered carriers of HPV because nothing really happens to them.  
Chances are you may never be sure how you got it.  You could have had it for years.  Did you recently get sick or were you under a lot of stress?  HPV can show up when your immune system isn't working so well because of stress, not eating right etc.  

I hope this helps.  Maybe someone else can shed more light on this for you.  I'm sorry if I have confused you.  I'm under my own kinda stress right now because of HPV.

He saw the raised warts and said that was what it was.  He said he was certain that my partner is infected as well.  He said that if his doctor only did a physical on him, he would not have known to look for them with the vinegar solution, or what ever it is they use.

hpv can be dormant in your body for weeks, months, or years.  It's hard to say when you got it.  did your doctor tell you it was hpv and did he do a pap smear?
