I have few qyestion regarding genital(penile) wart1. does genital wart appearr at the same site through where the infection entred?2. does it transfer
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1) Yes 2) Sometimes: Genital warts usually occur at the point of HPV infection, i.e. where the genital area is exposed. However, local "auto inoculation" -- that is, self transfer to new spot, e.g. by scratching etc -- can result in nearby infection, such as the scrotum, anal area, etc. The virus does not travel through the body.

Dear Dr, Is the rate of getting genital warts through 1 time oral sex (the girl sucks my penis for about 2-3 minutes) is high or low? Do genital warts often appear in the urethra? I'm so worried about genital warts, I think it so much, overthinking?
