In 2011,  I had 2 small bumps on my penis, near the head, that were identified as GW.  Through the use of  Aldara, imiquimod they cleared up after about 3 months. I have not had any recurrence since then, so now close to 9 years without a GW. 

Welcome to our Forum and thanks for your question.  I'll be glad to comment.  Your genital wart treatment appears to have been successful as indicated by the fact that the lesions have now not recurred for almost a decade.  While research now indicates that there may be a small chance that residual evidence of your past HPV infection could be used using sophisticated scientific tests, there is little risk that your infection will recur or, most importantly, that you are likely to transmit it to others.  Unprotected sex should not put her at risk related to your prior warts. 

On the other hand, both you and your partner are at ages when it is recommended that you should receive the HPV vaccine. Given your partner's age, there is a more that 50% chance that she has received the HPV vaccine which is well tolerated and very effective for prevention of the HPV infections and their consequences.  Have you asked her?

As for you, vaccination rates are unfortunately lower for men than women but the fact is the vaccine is also highly effective for men.  Health insurance will often cover its cost as well.

I hope that these comments are helpful to you. The issues surrounding HPV are complex.  If there are further questions or any of my reply is unclear, please don't hesitate to use your up to two additional follow-up questions for clarification EWH

Thanks you so much for your reply Dr. Hook.  It is clear from your reply that the chances of passing GW on in my case ( with nearly 10 years without a recurrence)  is minimal and so there is very little risk to my partner becoming infected.

Please for your thanks. They are appreciated. In addition let me enthusiastically endorse your decision not to seek information on this topic on the Internet. It will only mislead you and create confusion. Take care EWH---
