I am just not sure I believe my clinician...

HPV is near epidemic in both the gay and straight communities. If someone has it, all you need is genital to genital contact to get it. Fortunately for men, it can be gotten rid of fairly easy. It affects women far more seriously.

According to the CDC men who have sex with men are much more likely to develop anal cancer due to HPV so this is not something to be taken lightly but also not to seriously as it is still rare.

One of the disturbing things about HPV is that there are so many different strains and that the virus has different manifestations in different people.
It is possible for someone to contract HPV, show no signs (i.e. warts) but still be shedding virus from their skin which makes them capable of passing the virus on to other people.
In some people, HPV shows as warts.
A clinician who works in public health would not confuse warts with hemorrhoids. They are quite distinct from each other.
The strains of HPV associated with warts are different from the strains associated with cancers of the mouth, cervix and anus.
Worth mentioning is that the strains most commonly associated with cancer are included in the HPV immunization that is now recommended for boys.

I think it would take many, many years for anal cancer to develop. Did you tell the clinician about the bleeding. External hemorrhoids hurt like hell. You might have a tiny fissure. I had some bleeding once, and the doc said it was a little, tiny cut on my anus. I was surprised because I assumed that would be painful like a hemorrhoids, but it wasn't painful at all. Only symptom was blood on my stool and tp.

It is possible to have both. But as others have mentioned, usually with hemorrhoids you will have itching, burning or pain. Warts are usually painless unless they occur on the sole of the foot.
Once you've healed from the cryosurgery, you can try self-treating for hemorrhoids to see if it helps.
Again, it's two different strains of HPV that cause warts vs cancers.
But in the case that someone did have a strain associated with cancer, it would take some time after infection for cancer to develop.
I think some facts needed here :
HPV is the virus that can cause warts on the dick, arse or surrounding areas. HPV is very common with more than 75% of sexually active people getting the infection, usually between the ages of 18-25. Only about 10% of people who get HPV infection actually get warts. The rest usually don’t know they have it.
Transmission
Warts are passed on by any skin to skin contact with an infected person.
Signs and Symptoms
Symptoms include small bumpy warts around the dick, balls, and arse, or discomfort when going to the toilet if the inside of the arse is infected, but they can also be painless. There may be no symptoms at all.
If symptoms are present they will generally appear 2-3 months after being infected, but can take much longer. Outbreaks of warts can then appear periodically.
-------------
So I would be very worried about suspecting your boyfriend of cheating on you just because you have genital warts unless he claims to have never had sex with anyone else but you in his whole life. Also, there are many strains of HPV. The virus that causes warts on people's hands is still HPV. It is not clear than genital warts cannot be passed on by ANY skin to skin contact.

It seems what's really worrying you and what hasn't been addressed in this thread yet is the idea that you b/f (or now ex-b/f) cheated on you. It is quite possible for him to have had HPV for years before you guys even met, and then to have passed it onto you during that instance of unprotected sex. It doesn't mean he cheated on you. I hope you guys didn't break up over this alone.
