    Is it itchy at all? I have warts and mine also felt bumpy like that. Mine are nearly gone now and your body clears them within 2 years anyway. Dont panic if it is warts, its not the end of the world. My nurse told me its like the common cold of sexual activity as its inevitable that we will all come into contact with the virus that causes them. Hope this helps and speak to your local GUM clinic for a professional opinion, they can take a look at it and see what it is!

      i got told by my clinic that there is no reason to tell parters because 80% of people have the virus and he has most likely (if it is warts) got the virus anyway. There is also every chance that he is the one who gave it to you, theres no way of finding out. Go to your local clinic and see what they say, please let me know if they tell you the same info they told me. they can be easily treated and wont be there forever. treatments can remove the warts and its said that in 90% of cases the body will clear the virus within 2 years

      I had no idea that the body gets rid of HIV naturally. That makes me feel soooo much better.

      yeah! if you google it youll find numerous websites saying its usually within 2 years. even the NHS website says how its possible for the body to clear the virus over time. Do you have warts too?
