Q: can mouth wash with water soon after oral hpv exposure clears hpv virus from mouth ???

: Unfortunately, there is no evidence that mouthwash or gargling after oral sex will prevent the passage of HPV. Dental dams can be useful in that setting. Good luck.

Water will not be effective. Get HPV vaccine to protect against the dangerous strains of the virus. Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
