HPV or normal warts?
About 3-4 months ago i got a huge pimple on the base of my shaft.. by then it was reddish and very painfull... After a while i popped it and some puss and blood came out and spreaded around the pimple.. a few days after i started to see mole like formations around the area where the pimple was.. i wasnt too worried about them since i thought they were ordinary moles.. but last week whilst trimming n shaving my pubic hairs i found a few more of these mole like things hidden a little further up in my pubic hairs and on the side of my balls... I decided to go to the doctor for a check up.. the doctor prescribed a lotion called podophyllin to me and told me to scratch off the head of the moles and apply the lotion.. he told me that there is nothing for me to worry about and that its only a normal body wart, caused by a viral infection.. i had no clue what he meant by that... I left and went to see another doctor, he said that these are genital warts and that podophyllin would help.. but im so confused.. I have been having sex with my girlfriend for over 6 months now and today she did her test and she was negative... what could it be doctor, please help me.. if u need pictures please dont do ask..

HPV is extremely extensive.
1st if you've had any other partners this could have been from them. Or if you by chance did get it from you current GF then she would have an active infection between the 6 months you two have been together.
2nd you can carry HPV for months or years without having an outbreak (or without it becoming active) once it does become active she would have an abnormal pap in which her plasma will begin to develop causing an abnormal pap.
3rd you can become infected with HPV and clear the infection in 9 to 12 months with out treatment, it is recommended that you continue to follow up with your doctor if it is high risk (which that would pertain to your GF)
If you've had other partners then it is hard to tell if you got this from your current GF or another partner. As of right now your GF doesn't have an active infection: lets say that she didn't infect you and you already had it and it's just now becoming active, most likely she is already infected now if you two are having unprotected sex. OR lets say she did have an active infection and infected you but has cleared the infection; she will not have to worry about an reoccurrence of this strain of HPV.
All in all as long as her paps are normal then the only thing you have to worry about is the appearance in which you can have then removed.
Also, did you have these biopsied? Because Warts aren't suppose to hurt.

you replied to a post that wasn't yours on the expert forum so it was kicked over to here.
hpv is warts. they are the same thing.
warts don't have pus in them either.
we don't test for external hpv infections in males or females. if your female partner had a pap test done, she wasn't tested for hpv most likely and she certainly wasn't tested for external genital warts with it.
have either of you had your gardasil shots?
