Can Genital Warts be spread even with the use of a condom?

Some research leads me to believe it can as there could be a wart that is not covered by the condom.

I had a case of them 30 years ago and have not had a breakout since, Although my second wife came up with them nearly 10 years after I did. Not sure if it was from me or somewhere else.

Anyone got some knowledge or experience with this?

    like genital herpes, genital warts can be spread even with the use of a condom for the exact reason that u stated, the condom may not fully cover every lesion.

    Yes, a condom doesn't always prevent them from spreading. There are some "parts" that even a condom won't cover. The virus can lay dormant in your system, so your 2nd wife may have gotten them from you, but her immune system might be down right now - so she got an outbreak. Yours may never fully come out if your healthy & not run-down. Good luck
