genital warts/HPV?

i just found what i believe to be genital warts within the last week. ive scheduled an appt with my ob/gyn. i assume the warts will be removed and i'll be put on some sort of medication in case of reoccurance. since there is no HPV test for men, i wont know if my boyfriend has contracted HPV from me until they actually show up. (ive read it can take months to years to show up.) if i'm on medication as treatment and my boyfriend develops genital warts months from now, will i just develop them again? is this just going to be a vicious cycle?

The warts will be removed but you won't be put on any sort of oral medication to prevent recurrence.  There are an array of treatments for genital warts, but they all involve direct contact with the warts.

You won't develop the same strain of warts again from your boyfriend.  Once you contract one strain of HPV, you can never catch it again.  After your body has cleared this strain, you will develop an immunity to this particular strain.  However, you can be reinfected with other strains.  Getting the Gardasil shot was a good move, but keep in mind this only protects against the four most common strains of HPV and that there are numerous other strains of HPV you may still be able to catch.

Also, your boyfriend may never develop warts.  It seems to be in the minority, but it happens.  Using myself as an example, the partner who infected me has yet to develop warts as far as I know.
