Anal wart removal surgery! Ouch! Info?

Hi,
I have recently been diagnosed with hpv of the penis. I am a 23 year old healthy strait male who has never had anal sex in my life and never will. To tell you the truth i am scared to even go back there. Im anal-phobic... and have an issue with poo... anyways i have never had anal sex or even touched back there (w/o a tissue). But the other day i find myself feeling a little discomfort after a morning bm. And when i wiped there was blood... so i wet the tissue and felt around back there (yuck im sorry you guys this makes me sick to my stomach  even thinking about it) and i felt some bumps so naturally i assumed they were warts and proceeded to see my doc. And he confirmed that there were "alot" of them. Now he said "well are they causing you any discomfort?" Other than the fact that there are little warts growing and spreading in my anus i said "not really" but then i changed and said "well yes they do i cant get as clean as id like to. And he proceeded to recommend me to a surgon and gave me a prescription to padofliox. Ive been using the prescription as directed for a few days now (not long)  and have seen no results i think... to tell u the truth i actually havent seen them myself yet... im actually to scared to look. Ive never experienced this kind of helplessness in my life and no one is explaining anything to me. I think i am in a severe condition bc i probibly have had them for atleast 3 weeks and didnt know it. But my doctor keeps jumping around the topic and just flat out confusing me?! I feel like my head is spinning and i cant stop it. Can  someone please tell me a few things:

1. How has this passed to my anus without ever having anal sex just having penis warts?
2. Is my doc dancing around the.subject because he knows im going to die and there is not much to do?
3. How do i prevent from spreading warts to my face and other extremities?
4. I am about to be evaulated for surgery next week or so if i am to have the surgery can someone maby elaberate on what the pre surgery and surgery and post surgery is like. Please be as honest as possiable and dont be afraid to give it to me real,  dont hold back. I would rather be scared and prepared than ignorant and surprised! So i know it is going to be hell but i guess i cant relate ti that yet. So please give me something to relate to.
5. Any prep i should be doing now?
6. How can i protect my girlfriend from getting this awful virus?(she knows)
7. Is there going ti be a time where i am wart free? Even for a little while?
8. Please any additional info on good websites, info, or just any additional knowlage about this.
Thank you for your help!

Cauterization is preferred method ...haven't actually heard of surgical removal.

Am an anal cancer survivor...genital warts weren't found ever in full physicals...even by dermatologist.  Took a colo/rectal surgeon (with proper equipment and experience) to see....and give me a tentative cancer diagnosis.

You are in a a state of high anxiety now...try to calm down, and let the doctor help you.  Every doctor I had was straightforward....no protecting my feelings whatsoever.  They wouldn't do that.

Best...
