Genital warts?

[Invictus1]

My daughter was diagnosed with genital warts 3 months ago, but her HPV test came back negative.  At the time the three small "warts" were noticed in her genital area, she also had several bumps in the inside of her thighs that we were told were caused by shaving the area.  So these things occurred together, but were diagnosed as two different things.  The three "warts" were frozen off and have not returned, and every bump has disappeared.  The HPV test was negative.  Is it likely that the "warts" were misdiagnosed?  Is it likely that if they were genital warts, that her body has successfully fought this virus, and it's not in her system?  
She is very concerned about spreading  the virus in the future, and really needs to know what her health status is currently.   We have not been able to get a definitive answer from our doctor.

There are over 130 different types of hpv that infect humans. Of those, about 30 commonly infect our genital areas. Of those, some cause obvious genital warts and some cause us infections on our cervix and penis. when you get tested for hpv with a pap, it only looks for the hpv infections that infect our cervix. It doesn't look for external hpv infections that are associated with obvious warts. make more sense why that was negative but she has warts?

had she had her gardasil shots at all?

does she have a regular partner?

the rule of thumb is, if her warts are removed and don't return in a year, she's cleared that hpv infection.

if she gets a lot of shaving rashes, encourage her to switch to another hair removal method or consider just a body hair trimmer to keep the hair short instead of removing it completely. shaving your pubic hair creates microscopic cuts in the skin that can increase your risk of infections in general genitally.

I believe the hpv test was in conjunction with pap test and others.  I

was her hpv test part of her pap test?
