Hello
Thank you for your health query.
There is a very simple procedure to follow here.
Please visit an STD clinic and get yourself tested for HPV.
If you have the report in front of you in black and white, whether you are positive for HPV or not, then there is no room for confusion.
The question can be resolved definitely only by a conclusive test either ways.
HPV is notorious for causing vulval warts.
Vulval papillae might coexist, or right now, you might not be having the warts, as they do not manifest all the time.
Meanwhile, it makes sense to have the warts/ papillae removed, as you are having trouble during intercourse and while urinating.
ALso, use proper precautions during sex, until you know that you are clear or not.
Take care
