Question:
When I was younger I had a wart on the palm of my hand on two seperate occasions. Could this be a reason I have genetal warts?

No. The types of HPV that cause regular warts on the hands, feet, etc. are a totally different type of HPV than the ones that cause genital warts. You cannot transmit them from your hands to your genitals or vice versa.

No, that is a totally different type of HPV. There are 100 different types but 30 of those types of HPV are sexually transmitted. If you have genital warts then you came into contact with a person with HPV, and you were infected by that virus.
