A member asked:
I have hpv and im scared to go down on my partner i dont want to put him through that? can i pass it on to him by doing that and by kissing ?

No: Genital HPV is a localized infection limited to the tissues involved. It does not enter your saliva unless you have oral HPV which is very rare. You could pass genital HPV from tissue to tissue contact but not as you have described.
