Q: found out through pap smear at age 37 that i caught hpv from only partner ive ever had (not 16, 18, or 45, though). i had also given him oral. can i transmit it through kissing?

: HPV is very contagious, and can be transmitted via mucosal membrane contact with an infected surface (male genitals, mouth contact with mouth or genitals).
