Question 1

what test to do for oral hpv?

Accepted Answer

Exam: An exam looking for irregular patches, lumps, discoloration or wart-like areas.

Question 2

is a negative oral hpv test accurate?

Accepted Answer

Tests, tests: All tests have their limitations. First there is the data collection. Did the doc swab you well? Then was the swab transported to the lab correctly? Then how sensitive was the test? There are many different serotypes of HPV. If you are 28 now hopefully you got 3 Guardasil shots as a teen and are protected. Call your pediatrician and ask his/her nurse if you did?

Question 3

how do hpv oral symptoms look like in men?

Accepted Answer

Warts, cancer (rare): Oral HPV usually causes no symptoms at all. Rarely warts inside the mouth; more rarely, cancer of the throat. The vast majority of oral HPV causes neither problem and clears up on its own. But warts and maybe cancer are more common in people with immune deficiency, especially due to HIV (maybe on your mind, since you're in Uganda?). If you think you have oral warts, HIV testing is necessary.

Question 4

can you tell me is oral hpv common in women ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Common in women giving oral sex to male and female( tongue stimulation / licking of clit. ) partners..

Question 5

can i get hpv by receiving oral just once from a guy?

Accepted Answer

Extremly unlikely: HPV is rarely if ever transmitted mouth to genitals. It can be acquired in the mouth by oral sex, but rarely goes in the other direction. However, you can expect to have HPV someday; almost all sexually active people are eventually infected, mostly from genital or anal sex, not oral. That's why you and all young people need HPV vaccine, to prevent infection with the most troublesome HPV types.

Question 6

how can you get a oral hpv test ? do they take swabs, how does it go ?

Accepted Answer

Swab the mouth: This test is aimless and involves  the swabbing of the oral cavity.

Question 7

what are the chances of contracting oral hpv from giving someone a blowjob?

Accepted Answer

Depends: At your age you can still get 3 doses of the 9-valent HPV vaccine. If you got the original 4-valent vaccine you just need one dose of the 9-valent vaccine. Get checked out and if you are negative for the HPV strains get the shot(s).

Question 8

is it possible to get oral hpv after 22 years have past since i have been with the partner that gave it to me?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: Confusing question. Are you saying you caught genital HPV from a partner 22 years ago, and now wonder whether you could have inoculated your own mouth/throat recently? That is very unlikely, since your genital infection probably is long gone. If you wonder whether you caught oral HPV 22 years ago, it might have happened. But if so that infection probably also is long gone.

Question 9

i gave my bf oral before i found out about my hpv do i have to worry about when my little nephew gives me kisses now?

Accepted Answer

HPV can cause all: Kinds of warts, but the strains that cause genital or esophageal warts are usually sexually transmitted. Friendly kisses to your nephew should be ok. Herpes (hsv) on the other hand can be transmitted easily by casual kisses.

Question 10

can oral sex transmit hpv?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The hpv virus is very easily transmitted from person to person. Fingers, mouths, sharing sex toys without washing in between are all thought to be ways of transmitting hpv.
