Yes, they are 30+ genital HPV types most show no signs of symptoms!. Only one in 100 people that have low risk HPV show as a wart!.
2 - Why wouldn't it have come up in pap in March that I had HPV!.
There are lots of reasons why it may not have show with your March Pap:
If there is no abnormal cell changes an HPV test may not have been done!. The FDA approved HPV test does not screen for low risk HPV types!. A single Pap smear may not collect abnormal cervical cell changes, and it takes almost a year after the initial infections for HPV to cause abnormal cell changes!. Low risk HPV types do cause cell changes but they often regress much faster than high risk HPV types!. Low risk HPV types are not linked to cancers!. Also the HPV does not take any samples of your vulva!. You could have the virus just of the vulva
