I can understand your frustration with all of the different health diagnoses you've been given. Quite honestly, I was a little confused in following your story... With the first doctor you mentioned, when he ran a culture, did he test specifically for HPV (genital warts)? You should find this out, because if he didn't, that would explain the second doctor's findings.
To put your mind at ease, it would be best to get a third opinion. Are you located near a Planned Parenthood? If not, find a local family health services center, which should offer STD testing. Furthermore, another specialist you should consider visiting, especially given the body "pimples", is a dermatologist, who can help you to treat any skin condition. And finally, in order to help solve this "mystery", have your boyfriend get tested. After all, if he has HPV, or any other infection for that matter, the two of you need to know!
