It is a sexually transmitted disease-sexual contact.

The virus responsible for genital warts is called human papilloma virus (HPV). This virus can cause warts on the penis, vulva, urethra, vagina, cervix, and around the anus.
HPV infection around the genitals is common, although most people have no symptoms. Even if you do NOT have symptoms, however, you must be treated to avoid complications and spreading the condition to others.
There are more than 70 different types of HPV. Several types are associated with genital warts. Other types are associated with common or flat warts elsewhere on the skin.
HPV grows well in the moist genital area. Warts on the outer genitals are easily recognized. They are raised, flesh-colored lesions that may occur singly or in clusters. Left untreated, warts may rapidly enlarge, taking on a “cauliflower-like” appearance.
In women, HPV can invade the vagina and cervix. These warts are flat and not easily visible without special procedures. Because HPV can lead to cancerous and precancerous changes in the cervix, it is important that this condition be diagnosed and treated. Regular pap smears are necessary to detect HPV or other abnormal changes related to this virus. Having both HPV and herpes virus together puts you at particular risk for cervical cancer.
The following factors put you at higher risk for getting genital warts and other complications of HPV:
Multiple sexual partners
Not knowing if someone you had sex with had STDs
Early age when you start to be sexually active
Tobacco and alcohol use
Stress and other viral infections (such as HIV or herpes) at the same time
If a child has genital warts, you should suspect sexual abuse as a possible cause.Prevention Total abstinence is the only fullproof way of avoiding genital warts and other STDs. You can also avoid STDs by having a monogamous sexual relationship with a partner known to be disease-free.
Skin near the warts and around the genitals, anus, and other areas can pass the virus from one person to the next. Therefore, male and female condoms cannot fully protect you.
Nonetheless, condoms should still be used. They reduce your chances of getting or spreading STDs.
These precautions must be taken at all times. HPV can be passed from person to person even when there are no visible warts or other symptoms.

Yes ,you can catch genital warts off a toilet seat.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying – I bet they wouldn’t rub their knob on a seat if someone with warts had just sat on it!!!
