Most STD's besides herpes are silent.  Including HPV.  There are different types of hpv and most people don't know they have it.  While some do get symptoms as described, it's not too common to do so. There is a vaccine routinely given to young people now at around 12 to 14 years old that prevents it.  Were you vaccinated?  If not, you can still do it.  All sexually active people should test occasionally for std's so if you've never done that, this is a good idea.  But I'm fairly certainly your symptoms are classic yeast infection symptoms.

I hope for your sake it’s only yeast as I got hpv from a rape and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, I get horrible itching, discharge and burn. There’s no cure for hpv, but most other things, thrush, bv, chalmidya etc have cures. Goodluck

Sounds like you have a yeast infection.  This may or may not be related to your first time sex.  The person you had sex with could have yeast on their penis and this could have transferred it to you.  Or you just coincidentally got a yeast infection.  They (DOCTORS) usually want you to get swabbed for your first yeast infection and they will give you a pill to clear it up or you can try over the counter medications.  I use one day Monostat which is the one day ovule and I put a pad on for the next day.  Vagisil wipes help with the itch.  good luck
