I'm not sure why I never bothered to ask these questions before now but I suppose better late then never.
I have what appears to be a single genital wart just below the head (male), I've had it since I was 16-17 or so. I was vaccinated growing up but couldn't tell you for sure what I got, middle class family so I got vaccinated once every year / six months in the 90s. I went through five years in the military with this without any problems, I passed all medical screenings and received all vaccinations standard at the time. I've been out of the military for a few(1-2) years and still in relatively good condition, I don't have high blood pressure or (as far as I know) any genetic propensity for any large health risks. I also can confirm I do not have diabetes (military tested on entry and release).
Partner wise I didn't have sex for the first ~5-6 years of having it, nor did I have any sexual contact to include oral. I didn't notice any change once I started having sexual partners after, I was always careful to wear a condom though. I only am bringing it up now because I was asked today by my doctor (routine yearly visit) when the last time I had an HPV vaccine was and if I had one in the military, when I couldn't tell him (I didn't keep great records with the amount of vaccines we got for various deployments and such) he made me another appointment to see him to get a sample and a few other things.
This single wart has never grown in size, become sensitive, multiplied, or shown any sign of "life" for lack of another way to put it. Its small enough that if I didn't look for it (underside of the head) I wouldn't see it at all. I'm not overly concerned with another appointment to receive an answer but am wondering what this could be? Surely a wart cannot just exist for a decade?
