Likliness of this being HPV - please answer !

[pleasehelpme0000]

So I think I have HPV in my tonsils as I have fleshy bumps - not actually growing on my tonsils - but it's just like a part of my tonsil is swollen. I don't know if its a HPV wart - but if it was cancer due to HPV would warts show or not ?

Also what's the chances of being a carrier of HPV if I have had my vaccination before being sexually active ? I have not seen any warts growing on my genital area and at my last Pelvic exam the doctor did not see anything unusual - this was at 8 months after being sexually active.

It is now 2 years since being sexually active and I'm only starting to see these lumps on my tonsils.

Thank you

I do not smoke or drunk at all. I'm 18.

And the chances of having oral HPV are zero since you were vaccinated. Still oral cancer can come from smoking cigs or booze. But at your age, I doubt it.  Go see an ENT if your PCP doesn't know what it is.

Hi and welcome. They could be anything and would be best to have your doctor check them out, Most likely no big thing. Tonsils are part of the lymphatic system and the first line of defense  first line of defense against ingested or inhaled foreign pathogens. The can get inflamed alot and thats why many people have them removed at a young age,
