Will HPV Clear by itself & small white bumps on facial lips

I am out of a 5 year marriage and wanted to start dating. Previously, I just accepted that I had HPV and we would be together forever with my wife.

Anyway, I have noticed some very small white bumps on the underside of my penis. The one wart I had previously (5 years ago) was a lot larger and by itself. These small bumps I am referring to now are hardly noticeable. Different type of strain?? Do most HPV infections clear in this amount of time. I assume if these small bumps are HPV than I have not cleared the virus??        

Also, I have some small white bumps in the corners of upper facial lips? Can't see them unless I stretch the skin.  If this is HPV, is it contagious with kissing or oral sex? I am reading scary things on oral cancer.

Most everything I am reading on condom use suggests that they are ineffective against the virus. What if someone believes they have "cleared" the virus. To inform or not to inform after 5 years and condom use to have sex with someone?  

Last question...can initial HPV infection cause low grade fever pr dizziness. I was tested then and very recently for all other STD's and all came back negative. However, I do remember being tired, low grade fever.  

Thanks

Hi, I'm not sure why you're seeing it again 5 years later but supposedly after 6 months and there's no warts recurrence, you should be "HPV-free".

As for your white bumps, until you have verified that they are indeed oral warts, I'd advice you to not share drinks or kiss. And yes, it is contagious. But my nurse told me once the lesion is cleared, you can kiss all you want.

I dont think there's such thing as oral cancer from HPV? Yeah it can cause cervical cancer, but obviously that one too is NOT the same with genital wart HPV strain. Thing is, you might have both high risk and low risk HPV strains. If you never had wart for over 5 years, i think the only possible explanation is that you got another HPV strain from someone else (maybe even your ex wife).

And regarding condom, although im not sure myself, but as far as i know latex is very very effective in protecting against any type of STD (especially HIV). The reason why it's not more than 70% effective against genital warts is simply because HPV can transmit from skin to skin, and condom only protect your penis, not area around it. HPV might transmit from skin above your penis or on your scrotum, that's why it's not 100% effective. While for other STDs that require a "hole" to come in like HIV, obviously latex is almost as 100% effective as long as it doesn't break when you use it.
