Unfortunately, my computer won't open your image.  Is this point a raised bump or just a dot of white?  If it's not raised, then it's not HPV most likely.  However, people on this forum are just people dealing with HPV themselves, so no accurate diagnosis of anything can be found here, just advice, science (and then not always accurate), and a shoulder to lean on.  The only way to know what's going on is visit your doctor or a dermatologist or go to a sexual health clinic.  If you can do that without your parents knowing, then do so.  It's the only way.

Also, regarding sex...   Most sexually transmitted diseases and infections take between 2 weeks and 3 months to show themselves.  For this reason, I would be very, very cautious about who you have sexual relations with.  Given that men are more promiscuous than women in general, the rate of STDs and STIs in the gay male population is higher than in hetero (which is already high and getting higher thanks to the ease of hooking up with apps and online dating).  For this reason, and to save yourself all the bullcrap that goes along with catching something, always, always, always use protection, and, do your best not to be sexually intimate with people you don't know.  Ideally, your partners will not have had sex with anyone else in three months or more so that they will have had time to detect something from a previous partner.  There are lots of gay men our there who behave this way.  Date them.  

Also, warts are low-risk HPV strain which only causes warts.  The high-risk version is what can sometimes cause cervical cancer in women.  Men rarely, rarely, rarely, and I mean rarely get penile cancer from this strain.  It has no symptoms in men.  However, it can cause anal cancer.  You'll have to do your own research on the prevalence of anal cancer in the gay community, but I advice you to do so.  What I hate about sex is that it's only a fun and guilt/anxiety free activity when first approached with caution and care.  I always wanted to dive in with wild abandon, but hey, that's why I'm on this forum.  I have HPV.  My brother has herpes, and a lot of people I know have herpes.  We're all straight for what it's worth.  Anyway, go get checked out, and take care of yourself and your body and make smart, healthy sexual choices.  Best of luck!
