STD (hpv?) from lubricant? Extremely worried!

3 months ago, i used some lubricant belonging to a female friend (who is lesbian) at the time i was unsure of the last time she used it, (but will assume it was at least 13+ hours ago, probably more) and thought nothing of it. Two months later, there is a slight redness on my glans, but after several trips to the doctor, and testing, i have come back with negative results for Chlamydia and Ghonerrea. My doc is also sure that i do not have herpes. So the redness is totally normal, with no worry, but currently i am now worried about HPV, after noticing a couple of tiny slightly whitish bumps (The size of a pinhead, if not smaller) right next to my urethra. The doctor did not notice these during the exam, but i am still worried.

They do not itch.
They have been there for a month or two (this was when i first noticed them - paranoia is making me notice ANY tiny detail on my penis now)
They are extremely small, the dic didnt even notice them under light.
They are not textured like cauliflower at all

So now i have two questions:
1) Can HPV be spread through lubricant? JUST lubricant, i was not touched by her, and do not know whether she has HPV
2) Do these symptoms sound anything like HPV?

The while bumps (barely raised at that size) are smaller than a pinhead, maybe half the size
First noticed posibly 2 months after using the lubricant
Thanks!

no it will not survive in lube to be transmitted to you.

Thankyou for your response Grace. I may go and get it checked out by a doctor this week, but you and another user's response has helped put me at ease. Still slightly worried as to whether HPV could survive in lubricant for any period of time, but by the sounds of it, this doesnt seem to be possible!

you won't get any std's from using someone else's lube. it just doesn't happen that way.

the white bumps you describe sound completely normal.
