Question 1

if i have oral hpv and preform oral sex on a woman, could she possibly get hpv? in other words, can hpv be spread through saliva? also, is there any possibility of spreading it (oral hpv) through kissing?

Accepted Answer

Oral HPV/ spread?: Any mucosal surface will be a potential source of both acquiring and spreading HPV: this includes oral areas, so "kissing" can cause spread, and genital areas in both men and women, though oral or sexual contact.  HPV is very common, so multiple partners can easily acquire this and spread accordingly.

Question 2

hpv is spread through contact so can you have hpv on your hands and in your mouth?

Accepted Answer

Different strains : The hpv that causes warts on skin are a different strain than what causes hpv in the mouth.  Like humans are made up of many different strains, with different skin, eye and hair color, different shapes.  So you can have warts on your hands and hpv in your mouth, but they aren't likely spread from one to the other.

Question 3

if i get hpv infection through a cut on my finger....will it spread to my vagina if i do fingering...or to my mouth if i squeeze that fresh cut on my finger???

Accepted Answer

: Zero risk for HIV from such events. Don't worry about it.

Question 4

can hpv be spread through indirect contact? for example, if my finger touches a genital wart and i lick my finger with my tongue, can i get mouth wart

Accepted Answer

No risk: This is one of at least 3 questions you have asked about HPV, all of them suggesting you are unnecessarily worried about catching it. You are at risk of HPV only by sex with infected partners. Nobody can say the risk is zero with this sort of contact, but it is far too low to worry about. If you are sexually active, even with only one partner, that's how you'll get HPV someday. No other way.

Question 5

can hpv be transmitted through saliva?

Accepted Answer

Possible, unlikely: It is most commonly transmitted by direct contact.  Separating that from salivary transmission would be difficult, and the enzymes in saliva usually destroy many viruses (hiv is an example).

Question 6

can oral hpv pass through saliva, spit?if someone spit on my lip while talkinkg , can pass oral hpv to me?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Accidental exposure to a small amount of saliva as you describe is very unlikely to transmit hpv but it isn't impossible. I'd say the likelihood of getting it this way is extremely low, however.

Question 7

i had oral sex with my husband from 3years ago he had genital wart dose i get oral hpv ,it possible infect my family through eating same dish saliva?

Accepted Answer

Unpredictable.: One won't know she has oral HPV in the mouth or throat unless there's an abnormal spot or lump. Tiny spots of HPV would not be noticed by the person. Some strains of HPV don't cause big problems. One should get vaccinated against the bad strains of HPV (Gardasil-9 vaccine), to help prevent ano-genital infections. In real life, sharing food or water is fine, but maybe not chewing for somebody else.

Question 8

chances of contracting hsv/hpv or any other sti's  through handjob with saliva spit and a brief exposure of my upper thigh with her vagina (she just sat on me for a few minutes during massage but there was no rubbing and genital to genital contact?

Accepted Answer

VERY POSSIBLE: Whenever body fluids come in contact with you or your partner there is always the chance of transmission of HIV-HPV OR ANY STD. Saliva, blood or semen can be carriers of disease.

Question 9

so i'm a male bin treated for hpv it's clear down there....can i have someone's mouth down there without spread to her mouth to minke etc?

Accepted Answer

Probably yes: Hpv is best prevented by receiving the vaccine prior to initiation of sexual activity. After it is present, it can recur even with treatment.  Transmission can also occur when there are are no visible warts. It is not an extremely contagious organism but has prediliction for mucosal(wet non-hair bearing skin)surfaces.

Question 10

can hpv spread from penis to mouth easily and vice a versa?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, HPV can be transmitted via oral sex but not easily. If risk is present, please practice safe sex with condom. Take care.
