HPV or Overthinking?

I am an 18 year old female. I had unprotected oral sex 9 months ago and I had no symptoms of anything. This boy said he had no STDs or anything. I had mutual masterbation 2 months after that, again no symptoms. I now am with my boyfriend of 5 months and he and I are sexually active. I am his first sexual partner ever. We have unprotected oral sex and protected sex. About 3 months ago I had a major yeast infection by accidentally using moisturizer for lube. This went away and I had a vaginal swab test done and a visual test done. I came back clean and negative for any STDs. Therefore I was STD free. The doctor did tell me I had a vaginal skin tag. I recently noticed some bumps on one side of my lower vaginal opening. They are not itchy, and they do not burn. I think I am overthinking l to the point where I feel some vaginal itching but feels more like a yeast infection... Help please! I am still with the same guy and he has no warts or any STDs.

Get tested for HPV. Women can get tested by their GYN.  Do it. Or have one of the skin tags removed and biopsied by your dermatologist. End the suspense.

Get the vaccine. It will protect you against strains that you may not already have. He should get it too. Just because you are dating him now does not mean it will last forever.

Men cannot be tested for HPV. Unless they have a visible wart (some warts are not visible to the naked eye), men do not know their HPV health and must rely on the test results of their female partners. That he was a virgin when you met him is good.
