What is best protection in lesbian relationships against hpv infection? is it enough not touching moucous membranes? how exactly is it transmited?

Dental dams: or saran wrap can be used as a barrier when performing oral sex. Also cover sex toys with a condom. HPV is transmitted by coming in contact with secretions containing HPV or unprotected contact with genital, anal or oral lesions.
