male hpv

had sex with a condom with a girl who has hpv (high risk, i think) the kind for cervical cancer. her dr. told her that she didnt have any warts. thats was in nov. i have noticed some bumps in the side of my scrotum, a few in my pubic hair, and sevreal verrrry tiny ones around the bottom of the shaft/on scrotum. i went to the dr and he said it didnt look like hpv. they can itch some but i do shave my scrotum, have for years. not sure if its mental or what. any suggestions?

It all depends on the treatment selected and your pain tolerance.  Treatment tends to be more uncomfortable than truly painful.  It's definitely advisable to get them removed though.  If you go to a free clinic (such as planned parenthood) chances are they'll use cheaper methods like cryotherapy, aldara or condylox cream.  These procedures aren't typically as painful as some surgical options.  Have you seen a doctor yet to officially diagnose your genital warts?

Those only infected with high risk hpv can't give someone warts, because high risk types of hpv do not cause warts.  The only way someone can get warts is to have sexual contact with someone who is carrying a wart strain of HPV.  So unless the girl has multiple strains of HPV, you couldn't have caught genital warts from her.   If a doctor said these bumps weren't genital warts, I wouldn't worry.
