Someone who have hpv, can still kiss like french kiss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The many strains of HPV are spread by infected skin to uninfected skin contact. It is localized to the tissues where it is found & does not enter you bloodstream or get passed by casual contact. Deep kissing would be a problem if you had HPV infestation inside the mouth/throat, which can occur but is quite rare.
