White bumps around anus- HPV?

Hi I've attached a photo- I'm decently concerned as I've never had an STI before. Any advice would be tremendously helpful- thanks!

Im 22, male, gay and had anal sex a week ago. Thanks rolleyes

It doesn't look like herpes .

At all .

But I've never seen these type of things happen from a man's point of view ...

You should definitely get a swab done just in case ..

Was the sex unprotected? Looks like warts are a possibility here. Only way to confirm that though is at sexual health.

It was unfortunately- I would guess HPV as he was clean of all others STIs in a check up recently
