Question 1

i shared a cigarette with a guy i don't know and a couple weeks after i have 3 random canker sores on my mouth. is it possible this is hpv-1?

Accepted Answer

No risk, no worries: Is HPV a typo? Do you mean HIV-1? Anyway, don't worry about it. Neither HPV nor HIV can be transmitted by a shared cigarette, and neither one would ever cause "3 randon canker sores". Don't worry about it.

Question 2

does oral hpv look like a tiny canker sore

Accepted Answer

"canker sore": A "tiny canker sore" is probably herpes type I , not "HPV" (human papilloma virus).  HPV is generally genital in location.

Question 3

i shared a drink with someone hpv positive and i have a canker sore can i get it this way?

Accepted Answer

HPV transmission: There are well over 100 strains of HPV. HPV is not known to be transmitted through casual contact but by intimate skin-to-skin contact. Sharing a drink with someone who has tested positive for HPV would not be expected to result in transmission to another person

Question 4

how risky is it to kiss a prostitute? i had an active canker sore at the time does that increase the risk of contracting lets say hpv?

Accepted Answer

: Kissing transmits no STIs, including HPV.

Question 5

do kissing someone while i have an active canker sore increase my risk of contracting syphilis, hsv, or hpv?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, if your girlfriend is a carrier of these diseases.

Question 6

if my canker sore is exposed to the strain of hpv that causes mouth warts, what is the probability that i will get mouth warts?

Accepted Answer

Nobody knows: Nobody knows the answer to such a question. To find out, a researcher would have to find people with canker sores and proven exposures to HPV strains... and then figure out if they got exposed to HPV at exactly the times they also had canker sores... As you see, it's too complicated. Best to just get the Gardasil (newest version) vaccine and not worry about the HPV. Do get any warts treated.

Question 7

i recently found out i have hpv. i developed a soar in my mouth. how can i tell if it is from hpv or a canker sore. its along my gum. my invisaligner is right above the spot. maybe its rubbing it? i also ate a lot raw tomatoes the last week or so?

Accepted Answer

: Possibly from both. Have your dentist evaluate it. And if still it persists see your doc for a test

Question 8

diagnosed with hpv and have a canker sore on the front of my mouth. its not in the back of throat like things say, should i be worried for oral cancer?

Accepted Answer

HPV: You may have a canker sore.  This will heal in about 10 days to 2 weeks.   Oral cancers are typically painless spots that do not heal and are more likely n older patients, in frequent at your age.
If your lesion does not heal within 2 weeks see a dentist or oral surgeon and have the area evaluated.

Question 9

i have hpv(genital warts) that have persisted. i now have a canker sore for the last approx. a week. i have a bacterial throat infection to, related?

Accepted Answer

Not related: I can't put the three issues together as a related issue. Hpv has the potential of regressing locally and resurfacing later. The other issues arise from different sources.

Question 10

are canker sores permanent?

Accepted Answer

canker sores: Canker sores usually last about 2 weeks and heal on their own.  Your dentist should be able to help make the symptoms more bearable.  Since other things can look like a canker sore, especially if they last much longer, you will want to have it checked out by your dentist.
