Why am I just now spreading warts?

Hi, I've had warts on my fingers for years now and all of a sudden within the last two months I have noticed bumps in my mouth that look like warts, and recently even seem to find the common warts on my genitals. Why is this happening all of a sudden now? Is it even possible?

The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the culprit behind all warts on the human body. HPV has hundreds of different variations — or “strains” — with which an individual may become infected. Only some HPV viruses are spread through sexual contact, while others are spread through other means. Warts found on your hands cannot be spread through sexual contact. It is possible to develop oral warts. I would strongly urge you to see your doctor and/or a dermatologist to determine which strains of HPV you are dealing with...….IF IT IS EVEN HPV.
