A member asked:
Can genital warts due to hpv be transmitted through hand to throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Highly unlikely: Only a few studies have looked at how people get oral hpv, and some of these studies show conflicting results. More research is needed to understand how oral hpv is passed on, how it can be prevented, and who is most likely to develop health problems from an oral hpv infection.
