HPV throat
Hi I’m 28; I was with a new male partner 11 months ago, after being in a monogamous relationship for 8 years. I started getting soreness in my throat 4 months ago. I can only describe it as difficulty swallowing, tightness in the throat and constant irritation. When looking at my throat you could only see redness. I save a doctor about it 4 months ago and he swabbed for 'bugs', which was negative.
He game me a script for antibiotics that treat skin infections, but it didn’t make a difference.
I saw my doctor again and he swabbed for more STD’s. They all returned negative.
When I got home I used the blunt end of a knife the push my tongue down and inspect the very back of my tongue in a mirror, there are many clusters of hard white bumps on the back of my throat and tongue, when I softly pushed one with a cotton bud it began to bleed a fair amount.
I told my doctor that I think after having oral sex with the most recent partner that I might have warts in my throat, but he dismissed the possibility and refused to check the very back of my throat. I saw another GP and she said its not possible to get genital warts in the throat.
Should I worry? Id like them removed as they are causing discomfort and the bleeding is a concern, also I feel they are spreading, but I’m not getting any help from GP's

Good advice from nurse dear!i know u'll follow through!Ah these males are a smarmy lot are they not?Try not to be 2 hard on urself....in time it will pass.i was celibate for 10 years..met my now x...foolishly b-lieved what he told me about no sex for 3 years...thought it ok not to use condoms and ended up with high risk HPV and a LEEP surgery.I'm lucky thats all I got!I beat myself up 4 quite awhile.Doing much better now.Lets hope that this throat infection is just that...some type of viral infection.Sometimes it takes an Mega strong antibiotic to kick it!Please keep us informed.There is a lot of support here.Best of luck to u!:)
He didn’t have any thing suspicious on his penis.
AFTER being with him I found out that he'd spent many years trawling dating sites and attended 'swingers' parties, also made a few visits to Thailand.
I am no longer with him, and cannot confirm if he ever had warts removed before I met him.
I didn’t even know genital warts existed until now. STD clinics in Australia do not offer any type of viral wart identification.
I was lonely and vulnerable and made mistakes just hope I’m not paying for it with my health/life.
I just spoke to a nurse and she's recommended that I insist on a referral to a throat specialist.

In the USA which is where I am the prevalence of oral/throat HPV warts according to the data is low.But it is possible to get them there.Did ur partner have warts in his genital area?U've been to two docs and they r saying no oral std warts and given u meds that didn't help..I've read in this forum that one can get gonorrhea orally.Can u go get a second opinion at a a std clinic?I think it would ease ur mind.Perhaps the antibiotics the docs gave u weren't strong enuf to zap ur infection!
Please help, im really worried now, i found this article can you verify if the source is a real medical journal?
