There is no medically required disclosure here the way there is for some infections, so this is partly a values question rather than purely a clinical one.

What is true clinically: warts are caused by low risk HPV types, most people clear the virus over time, and once you have had no recurrence for a good stretch the likelihood of passing it on falls a lot. It does not drop to a certainty either way.
