I don't mean to alarm you, but did your doctor tell you that HPV is sexually transmitted? It is similar to a condition I had called Condyloma. Basically it is the same thing and is considered to be an STD. I don't know your relationship status, but if you are just now breaking out, chances are good you got them within the last year or so. Just a head's up. Mine had to be surgically burned out and I hope you don't have to go through that. The good news is, that was 17 years ago and (knock on wood), I've never had a reoccurance since.
