Please Help!

I have gotten the gardasil vaccination and recently had a Papilloma removed from my tonsil, I had a normal Pap on the 15th of this month, I had sex later that day with my boyfriend who ive been sleeping with exclusively for two years and i believe he is also faithful and slept with no one else, is there anyway I was infected on the 15th and showed signs on the 27th? My nurse told me I could have gotten the virus from anyone and it live on my skin and I infected myself, so do i need to worry about giving it to my boyfriend and him giving me it back? Whats the soonest after being infected that HPV shows signs?

HPV can be with you for a lifetime, your boyfriend has it and even if you used a condom he would have still contracted it.  I have lived with it for five years and I can tell you from my experience that its all going to be okay.  I recently got married to my husband and we have a 2 year old, were very happy and hpv if you let it will not let you live your life but have a strong heart and will, youll be okay and so will your boyfriend truth is he could have given it to you or you could have given it to him, but who cares whats done is done.  To answer your question it can be years before you show signs or it could be days. And truth is youve probably mostly likely have genital hpv and it can itch even if you dont see warts but that goes away,  heres a tip that i learned try not to stress this out it can make it worse and heres a statistic more than 80% of the female poplutation has contracted this disease and it should clear up within 2 years or so.
