Some HPV questions
Dear Drs.
This morning I just found a very, very tiny wart on my the right groin. I am not sure for how long it was there.
I manage to see my physician (urologist) later on and he examined me, and applied acid on the wart. He saw no more visible warts, but asked for a peniscopy with biopsy, which I'll be submitted next week. He said that the wart probably will disappear in a few days.
My physician avoided a diagnosis, but I read lost of things about HPV (which was the first thing I thought when I saw the little wart on my groin).
So, I have some questions:
1) Is that possible to have HPV only in the groin area but not on the penis?
2) I had a complete STD screening in 2007. Fortunately, everything came back negative on that occasion. Not tested ever since, but all my sex encounters following 2007 (5 or 6 women, I guess) were with condoms (and I also have used condoms in my relationships before 2007 too). Do I need to get tested again?
3) What is the risks for my girlfriend? We also only have protected intercourse since the beginning of your nearly 3 years relationship.
4) I have visited several other serious web sites (or, at least they supposed to be serious), and the perspectives of full cure have been conflicting: some sources say "yes, the patient will be cured if he stick to a proper treatment" whereas others deny this assertion, saying that even with the warts gone there will be no definitive cure. In which assertion should I believe?
5) Some sources say that sub-clinical HPV lesions are untreatable. Is that true?
6) Assuming that I have those sub-clinical lesions (still need to do the test), what are the risks to my girlfriend considering non protected future sexual intercourse aiming pregnancy? And what about unprotected oral sex?
7) The HPV viruses that cause genital warts are the same that would cause cervix and penile cancers?
8) How long we need to wait until recommence our sexual intercourses?
9) Is that possible to just have an ordinary (i.e. non sexually transmitted) warts on the groin?
10) Assuming again that I really have sexually-transmitted HPV, would the use of female condon (which partially covers the female groin area) be more effecting in preventing the transmission of the virus that the ordinary male condom?
11) Is that possible that I would have catch the virus years ago but the warts only appeared now? It seems unlikely that I catch that bug from my gf, because she have had only 3 previous bfs (with whom she had only protected sex). Also, she is a blood donor, and get tested for STDs on a yearly basis, and everything came back negative for the last three years.
That's all for now.
Thank you for your attention, and I am looking forward for answers.

No Drifter is WRONG, His smiley at the end of the text means he is kidding. He wants everyone to live like a hermit and never have sex or touch anyone againi. I wonder if he shakes hands with anyone when he meets them since hands have skin. Go to the Doctor's forum and escape his madness.
