HPV Exposure, no symptoms after a year
Hello, I'm a 25 year old male. Last august (9 months ago) I made a regretful decision on my european tour when I had protected sex with an Amsterdam worker. I have been tested for all types of stds, and luckily tested negative for all. Out of fear, I also did 3 specific hsv1&2 tests, all negative..... Now, I recently realized how common HPV is and am losing sleep over it... Over the past few months, I developed irritable bowel syndrome, and have had some serious anxiety issues. Now I have this HPV fear to add to it, and I am back to reading everything on the internet.... My question is, under these circumstances should I have seen warts by now? If stress makes it react?... I've heard the average person beats hpv within 2 years, can that time be shorter? and how worried and concerned should I be about my exposure?
Thank you very much for your time.

Yes should have seen warts by now. Avg is 2-8 months. You had safe sex with a CSW and although it isn't that safe against HPV, you should not worry about it at all.. Most CSWs do not have STDs because its bad for biz. Esp in Amsterdam where they routinely go thru STD checks. Please stop worrying about this. You are 25, go get the vaccine asap. 3 shots and you will feel safer than you do now. If I was you, I would not worry at all. Get the vaccine before you turn 26!
Thank you very much for the info, and yes very good points, and good reasons not to worry.
