So confused...advice greatly needed!

Ok so a couple weeks ago I posted and asked what you guys thought about these pimple like bumps on my vagina. Well today I went to my gyno and she said that they appeared to be warts but that they could just be skin scabbys but she wouldn't know without doing a biopsy. She said that we would just wait it out and see what happened. Well I did some research on warts and basically i got that the cause of warts is HPV. This confuses me because when I was tested for HPV two months ago it was negative and I haven't been sexually active since the test. Is it possible to get the warts without the HPV infection? How worried about these should I be? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It doesn't matter if you haven't been sexually active in a while. HPV can lay dorment until it wants to appear.  Mine was noticeable right away, but my husbands didn't show for almost 3 years. I had only one partner in my life and that was my first husband. I received a abnormal pap and that was when I found out that my husband was having an affair for many years. I since have been remarried and I was honest with him that I had HPV but have had normal pap smears for the last 2 years but you see my husband now, now has it and it took  3 years to show.
