Hpv scaring

Sorry for my poor english. I went to have a massage one month and half ago. No sex, only had a bath in bathtub and masturbation on bed. Recently, I found some symptoms on my top of the penis. They looks like needle heads or tiny rash, but without pain and itch. When I touch them, I can't feel obviously irregularity.
1.Have I get HPV through the intercourse I described? Because I know HPV may transmit through used bathtub, towel.
2.if the suspected symptoms of HPV happens, how long will develope to typical HPV symptoms?

Penetrative sex is the most likely cause of getting HPV. However it is rarely spread in other genital to genital contact such as rubbing without penetration or oral sex.

So, if I don not have penetrative sex(without penis to vagina contact), I will never get HPV. Is my understand correct?
I found about 5 or 7 tiny rash(like needle heads or black spots)on the middle of penis(foreskin). I am worry about this symptom.

1) You are wrong, HPV is not spread through bathtubs or towels. Only direct genital to genital contact. If you do have HPV it is more likely to be from a different exposure in which you engaged in penetrative sex, as it is not spread through masturbation.

2) The symptoms don't sound typical of genital warts, however they differ from person to person. Most people experience warts within 6 months of an exposure, however everyone is different and some go on longer before they experience warts.
