Brief Answer:
Possible genital Molluscum

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you.

I have viewed the Image.

This seems like genital Molluscum Contagiosum to me. It is a viral infection and you most probably you acquired it from your sexual partner.
Shaving would aid local spread as it facilitates autoinnoculation.
Molluscum contagiosum usually presents as pearly white bumps. Some of the bumps may have a central umblication. Molluscum is asymptomatic.

Brief Answer:
STD screening including HIV

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

Because genital molluscum is an STD therefore you must undergo a complete STD screening including HIV screening. In general, molluscum contagiosum is more common in HIV patients. However, genital molluscum occurs without HIV in majority of patients but it does entail HIV screening.
