Explanation:

Genital warts is small bumps caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which includes about 150 related viruses. HPV — along with genital warts — is transmitted through sexual intercourse.

Most people with HPV don't know they're infected, and may only find out if they develop genital warts.

Importantly, genital warts and other HPV symptoms sometimes only show up years after contracting the virus, but you can still pass the virus on to other people during this symptom-free period.
