Rare HPV Infection - Need professional opinion

Hi.
This is my first time posting here :)
It's going to be a bit long, but it's crucial.

A small introduction:
I'm 25 years old, healthy, very active and diet cautious man.

About two and a half years ago i've had protected sex with a female, who I later found out, had condyloma.
6 months later I noticed small bumps in the region of my penis. They were immediately treated with Crytotherapy.
Since I also have many sebum glands (Fordyce's condition), it was pretty hard to differentiate the warts from the glands, so I assume I had some sebum glands frozen off "just in case".
Since i'm pretty paranoid about diseases, and like my conscious to be clear, I avoided sex since the first wart.

About 6 months ago (2 years after the time of infection and about 1.5 years from the first warts) I took a PCR test that came back positive for BETA-HPV strain 107 -  A sub-specie of the Beta-HPV 9, which is closely associated with EDV condition (Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis), and is not associated common genital warts/condyloma or cervical cancer causing strains (which are of Alpha Papilloma type). A few weeks ago I took the test again, and it came back positive (again, strain 107, BETA HPV).

I did quite an extensive web research about the BETA Papilloma Virus, and as I understand, it's quite common in a latent condition in the general public, but only "erupts" in people who are susceptible of Beta strands - A very small percentage of the population.
Still, information about Beta HPV is so scarce, leaving me confused about my further actions :(((

Since I REALLY(!!!) want to go back to my normal life and i'm already over the normal median HPV clearance time, I simply don't know what to do now :(  I doesn't look like I have warts, nor EDV, and the many Dermatologists I've been to simply don't know what to tell me, since it looks like I know more than they do, in this subject.

I'd love to hear your opinions about this issue.
Thank you very, very much and have a great day!!!

P.S,
If you know any HPV specialists or researchers than can have some input on this issue, please let me know.
I'm really depressed here :(
