A member asked:
Could you have hpv in your mouth and not know it? if so, could you somehow pass it onto your toddler by kissing them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes/no: There are non-wart strains of HPV that can take residence in the tissues of the oral cavity. They often present no symptoms. They would often clear the primary infection within 2 yrs and may or may not produce later problems or be contagious. They are not passed to a toddler by a simple kiss.
