The vaccine does not prevent all warts. What it does you is protect against specific strains which are implicated in genital cancers.

You can still get warts even after being vaccinated because there are more than a 100 different types of HPV.

Your partner is probably already infected with HPV. In fact she could have been the one to pass you the infection rather than ML because it the probability of catching anal warts from a massage is rather low.

Just because your partner does not have any visible warts does not mean she is not carrying the HPV infection. Unless she has never had any sexual relations before meeting you, it is quite likely that she could have caught it from a previous relationship.

HPV is a very common infection. It is estimated that the infection rate is about 50% amongst people who are sexually active.

Infection with the HPV virus infects at least 50% of all people who have sex at some time in their lives. Often, people don't have any symptoms and the HPV infection goes away on its own. Some types of HPV can lead to cervical cancer or cancer of the anus or penis.

To put this in practical terms it means that if you have had sex with 2 woman chances are one of them has HPV.

There is no need to change anything. Just treat the infection and carry on with your life as normal.

Condoms do not provide much protection against Herpes or HPV as infection occurs via skin to skin contact in areas not covered by the condom.

On a side note the Herpes infection rate amongst adults is even higher than the HPV infection rate. It is estimated that at least 70% of the population is infected with Herpes[types 1 or 2]. However only a small percentage actually display any symptoms of the infection because the immune system keeps the infection at bay.
