Do I have HPV?

I have several brownish colored, mole-like, growths around the base of my penis and I'm not sure what STD it could be. I thought I had HPV, but everything I read talks about "outbreaks"....I don't get outbreaks, they're always there. They do itch, but I haven't really had any burning during urination...maybe once every couple months.

Don't know if they're everywhere, but planned parenthood provides free or inexpensive care depending on your income level.  Check out there care center locator.  Hope this helps:  http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-center/findCenter.asp

Umm...I don't know. Not sure what that is? I tried locating a free clinic, but they only test for life threatening STD's, like HIV and others.

Well if that was an option, I wouldn't be asking this question on a forum. I'm unemployed and don't have any insurance or money to go see a doctor.

Hard to say on a forum, but knowing what you got is as simple as a visit to the doctor or dermatologist.  When folks speak of outbreaks they mean a recurrence of new bumps at some point after having the previous wart(s) removed.  Sometimes it's just one, other times more.  Your case is a no brainer though.  Get  yourself into a clinic or office and find out.
