Thanks for catching the typo. I did mean genital warts, not vaginal. The whole topic of STDs makes me squeamish--I got married in 1984, when you had to have a blood test in NY to detect syphilis to get a marriage license, and herpes was the only part of love that lasted forever.
. How did you find out? Did your boyfriend develop warts? My gynecologist told me that while woman can tell if they have the virus from getting a Pap smear, there is no such test for men.
So, if you get regular Pap smears you should be fine.

Ach, viruses. Feh.
Good luck and thanks for the comment.
