Sti?

I'm worried I might have genital warts or something like that. There are very small, fairly flat bumps on my testicles, they don't look like warts and aren't even the size of spots. I've never had sex or even been in a relationship though.

I did a little research online on a few different sites, and none of them really mentioned genital warts on the testicles, and didn't show them in that area.

I think it's a tad unlikely you have an STI if you haven't had any sex.

I'm not sure he should be wasting the NHS's time and money with hair follicles. But yeah any other situation and that would definitely be the best advice.

Um...the guy says he's never been in a relationship, never mind never had sex before, so the chances of genital warts are pretty much nigh on impossible.

How to catch-
vaginal or anal sex
close body contact
sharing sex toys


You can't catch genital warts from kissing, hugging, sharing baths, towels, cups, plates or cutlery, from toilet seats or swimming pools.
