I'm not sure how long I've had the bumps. I don't have any pain, but I have had unprotected sex recently. I took an STD test, but the results came back negative.
Brief Answer:
A week...a month.. a year....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I will like an idea of just how long. The exact duration is not needed but something to guide the decision making process.
Thanks and let me hear from you as soon as possible!

Maybe a couple years. Four or five years. The bumps do not spread or cause pain or blistering.
Brief Answer:
Probably pearly penile papules!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
With this information and the image, I have reasons to think these are pearly penile papules. They are fairly common and present in about 20% of male population. They represent no disease and constitute no danger to you. Unless you don't like how they look, there is no need to treat.
If you would want treatment, please let me know for recommendations.
I wish you well.
