Many of the answers to your questions depend largely upon whether you are dealing with low risk (genital warts) or high risk (cancer causing) HPV strains. All of the above that you mentioned are possible.
Contributory factors such as smoking, early onset sexual intercourse, multiple partners generally increase the risk for chronic infection. Also even if the two of you both have HPV it is especially important that the couple use condoms. One might wonder why if you are in a monogomous relationship and the answer is that HPV is contained within the man's semen. This can result in an increased viral load for the woman and one which could potentially push her immune system over the edge in handling the virus if that makes sense. I hope it does. No it isn't pleasant to need to be using condoms especially in a monogomous relationship but it could also prevent you from having to confront more severe HPV lesions and possibly cancer. Hope this helps.
