In November of 2009, I had unprotected oral sex 1x with another male, giving and recieving. Several weeks later, the individual told me they had genital HPV two years earlier, but had been symptom free for 8 months. I did reasearch that told me it could be transmitted orally, and other research told me no. It wasnt until April 2010 that I started wondering if I was being hypochondriatic or if I was having some symptoms. The symptoms were weird sensations around the head of my penis and some slight skin-tone changes. I went to a doctor who told me that if I had something it would have shown by now. I went away relieved for a couple of days, then started worrying again. I went to see another doctor to rule out any other STD's. Everything came back negative, HIV, HSV, etc.... I was still having periodic itching and sensations. On the day I went to the 2nd doctor, he told me I likely didn't have anything, but was just worrying. The very next day I had several non-raised red area's on the head of my penis. Within 3 days, it spread to just about my whole penis. The first doctor told me that there was no test for male hpv, but a vinegar solution would show "white spots." After applying Apple cider vinegar for 1 hour with a cloth, all the red area's had clear white-spots. I also noticed that the application turned some spots to scabs, by the next day. I wore a vinegar cloth for a couple of nights and every spot turned to scab and cleared within a week. The red spots came back, and were itchy two weeks later. I did another application for two nights and they have since cleared and not returned.
Does it sound like I may have HPV?
Did the vinegar clear it? Is this a possible treatment? (some internet research has raving reviews about it)
What is the possibility I have oral HPV myself?
I have had one swollen tonsil for 2 months now. Could this be at all related to HPV? No sore throat at all, no bumps etc.
