HPV: Hpv is usually transmitted skin to skin and 96% of us are exposed to at least one form of hpv by age 26. Most people get hpv sexually (if that is where they are exposed) on their penis or in their vagina. No matter what your worries are about hpv in the throat there are no tests to reassure you. The best thing you can possibly do about hpv and your worries is to get the hpv vaccine. Both of you!

HPV: You do not get this from a person who does not have it. If neither of the parties in the relationship are infected there is nothing to worry about. If either is infected the chances are that you both already have it.
