HPV strains are selective for where they can infect. Genital strains can infect the genitals and in rare cases the oral cavity. They to not infect the lungs or circulate at random in the body like a flu virus. It is not transmitted in the air like the situation described.

Chances of getting it like this are next to nil. HPV generally does not affect lungs. Yes the body defense mechanisms protect us from all kinds of exposure so not everyone gets a disease they are exposed to. If worried pl. get the HPV vaccine
