Welcome back to the Forum although it saddens me that you continue to worry about the brief encounter you mention to me. I think you are overthinking this and need to move forward -over a month has passed since the event. I would urge you to read some of the many, many other threads on the site that we have posted regarding HPV. It is really not something for someone to worry about in this day and age. Further, in the case of your recent casual encounter, the fact that your partner has been vaccinated for HPV should eliminate most of the concerns you have for what, most of the time, is an innocuous infection, particularly for men.
Further, as for your questions
1. Neither of the lesions you describe suggest HPV. HPV would not appear just two days after an exposure and you do not mention performing oral sex on your partner so there is no risk for oral HPV since HPV is transmitted through direct sexual contact.
2. The 4 HPV type covered with the original HPV vaccine covered well over 70% of HPV include the types that cause most than 90% of visible warts and genital tract malignancy., The current vaccine covers substantially more than that.
3. Regarding your concern for a future wife, the best thing you can do is to be sure she is vaccinated for HPV. There are no recommended tests for HPV in men and when tests are performed on men and are positive, there is nothing in particular to do about them.
I hope these responses are helpful. I also hope you can move on, perseverating on this encounter is a waste of time. EWH
