Female 39 ...I have a hubby who has gential warts....I'm curious, if he was infected with warts is there other STD's that could go along with it, and which tests should he have?

 In general, we often say that STD's travel in groups. If your husband has contracted genital warts (caused by the human papilloma virus or HPV) there is a possibity of having contracted other STD's as well.
More commonly with men than women, the infections may be assymptomatic. His doctor can perform testing to look for the various other infections.
Incidentally, in the title of your post you mention mulluscum. Mulluscum contagiosum is a different virus than that which causes genital warts. Mulluscum typically produces small bumps that have a central indentation. They, too, are transmitted sexually-basically by skin contact. They can be treated in much the same way as genital warts.
Hope this helps.
