Question 1

my boyfriend and i have hpv warts, we are wanting to perform oral sex on each other can my 2 year old son get it if he kisses me on the mouth?

Accepted Answer

See answer: The same types of hpv that infect the genital areas can infect the mouth, throat. Only a few studies have looked at how people get oral hpv, and some of these studies show conflicting results. Some studies suggest that oral hpv may be passed on during oral sex or open-mouthed (“french”) kissing, others have not. The likelihood of getting hpv from kissing is not truly known. Safe, smart sex advised.

Question 2

i just found out i have high risk hpv (no genital warts) can my boyfriend get it from performing oral sex?

Accepted Answer

All things HPV:: No oral spread. The best summary of the HPV virus, in all its forms, is the one on Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_papillomavirus  I learned a lot &amp; you will too!  Many of your fears will be eased (and some might be raised). It's good that you know you have a high risk type so you will be faithful about getting follow-up PAPs &amp; early treatment if your PAP's show suspicious lesions.

Question 3

almost every time i give oral sex to my boyfriend i get white spots on my tonsils and my tonsils become swollen. they go away after a few days of salt water. is this common with hpv? could this be hpv? i dont have any sti/std. going on for 3 years?

Accepted Answer

: This scenario does not seem like that of HPV and more like part of ejaculate since it gets washed out. Best that both of you get tested for HPV

Question 4

i gave my boyfriend oral sex, he only had a few warts on his pubic/pelvis but not on his penis.is there still a chance of me contracting hpv? if so, would it only in the mouth? does sperm play a role?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: You can contract hpv in our mouth or genitals from contact with the warts or surrounding tissue. Sperm or seminal fluid does not necessarily play a role. You can still transmit the virus to your genitals if you or your boyfriend touched there as well.

Question 5

if i give a guy who has hpv with no present warts oral sex (head) for example  will i be at risk for catching something in my mouth ?

Accepted Answer

Fairly low risk: Even without visible warts, there is still probably some viral shedding.  So, technically, there is some risk.  But, getting hpv in the mouth is uncommon and is lower risk than getting it in the cervical area.  Throat cancer can result from oral hpv, and this risk is greatly increased by smoking.  Ideally, no smoking and use a barrier for oral sex, but the risk is still fairly low.

Question 6

can hpv/genital wart get passed on through oral sex? my bf had oral sex with me and i have hpv and a genital wart, can that be passed on to him through the mouth and can i get hpv/ wart of the mouth if he kissed me after oral sex?

Accepted Answer

In : In short...Yes.  These lesions are caused by the hpv virus and can be transmitted by contact like any other virus. Over the last 20 years we are seeing increasing number of intraoral lesions caused by the hpv viruses linked to genital warts due to the increase in oral sex.

Question 7

can hpv be spread through oral sex?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but...: Nobody knows the degree of risk because there are too many unknowns, such as: does the other person have the virus, how much virus does she have, what exactly is oral sex for that couple, how many total minutes of exposure per episode, how many episodes, how much total virus gets into the guy's mouth, etc., etc...  So, in life, if a person is a "worrier", he has to play it safe and not do stuff.

Question 8

can a woman get hpv from receiving oral sex?

Accepted Answer

Yes HPV  is virus: By repeated direct contacts by any means  virus will get transmited ( get infected )

Question 9

could i give my bf hpv by giving him oral sex?

Accepted Answer

HPV: Hpv or human papilloma virus can be transmitted orally and can lead to oral cancers of mouth and throat.

Question 10

what are the odds of contracting hpv during oral sex?

Accepted Answer

Unknown but low risk: Oral HPV infections can occur -- on average, they are roughly one tenth as frequent as genital infections. For the most part, oral sex can be considered low risk for HPV, but not zero risk. There are no data on the transmission chance for any single oral sex event, but I would guess it's a lot lower than 1 in a thousand (in either direction, i.e. genital to oral or vice versa).
