Hello
Genital warts can spread as early as a few days time to a few weeks once you come in contact with them. They do not appear in the mouth on the mucosal region.
The most common cause for the warts is a condition called human papilloma virus and if they are left untreated and they grow larger they can result in various manifestations of the cause (eg HPV) to settle and take their course and these can be serious and even result in sterility.
Best wishes
