Question 2

Question 3

hi doctor khan, i tested positive for hpv and gave my partner oral sex, can i pass it on to him from doing that? i previously asked my gyno and he sai

Accepted Answer

Makes no difference: Maybe I can help while you wait for Dr.Khan. If the two of you have been having sex for some time, he has already been exposed repeatedly to your genital HPV and you can assume he has it. Maybe he was the source of your infection. You probably don&#x27;t have it orally, but if you do, oral sex will not change his risk. You can continue your usual sexual practices: no need to change now. It&#x27;s too late!

Question 4

now that both partners have hpv, will giving and receiving oral sex increase the likelihood of throat cancers?

Accepted Answer

Good question: Cetain types of HPV stains have been inplicated in cervical, vaginal and anal cancer.
I am not aware of current cases of throat cancer, but certainly consult your GYN.

Question 5

if  the female who's hpv high risk with cervical dsyplasma transmitt it by giving oral sex to the male.

Accepted Answer

No: If a woman has high risk hpv on her cervix, that doesn't mean she necessarily has been exposed to hpv orally.  She would have to have had oral sex with a man.  The virus doesn't travel through blood stream, it's skin to skin contact/transmittal.  More partners means increased risk of hpv for both oral and cervical.  Smoking also increases risk for both.  Hope that helps!

Question 6

is it easy after giving oral sex to a female to get oral warts or hpv lesions. other docs on here have said no but i am worried and have an oral bump.

Accepted Answer

Not common: You should definitely get your "bump" checked out.  However, it is very rare for hpv to spread from the genitals to the mouth or lips with out any open sores.

Question 7

how long before you get symptoms for hpv oral cancer. and if the woman that has it transmitt it by giving oral sex.

Accepted Answer

Hard to tell: Hopefully never but  only time will tell. Choose your partners wisely, use protection.

Question 8

how can someone with hpv-cervical cancer and get cold soars occasionally still transmitt through giving oral sex to able who does not have hpv?

Accepted Answer

Hpv is contagious: Hpv can be transmitted anyway; you should practice safe sex only to avoid the risk of passing the infections to thers, if you have the virus. Best wishes.

Question 9

can hpv jump from a genital organ to oral cavity? is giving oral sex to man the only risk factor for oral hpv?can oral hpv lay dormant in oral cavity?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Hpv can jump from gential to oral cavity.  Smoking is a risk factor for oral cancer.  Once you have hpv doesn't mean you'll get cancer, only makes it possible, like an opportunity.  Yes oral hpv can lay dormant in oral cavity.  The risk also increases with the number of sexual partners a person has. Smoking also increases the risk of oral hpv infection.
