A member asked:
Can you get hpv from kissing? and if so how long does cancer take to develop
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not normally: Kissing will not transfer hpv, but oral sex can. It takes at least months and probably years for a cancer to develop. Most women < 30 years old will be able to fight off the hpv infection without specific treatment.
