A member asked:

Can kissing (just kissing) girls genital infected with hpv cause oral hpv?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe. If a woman has the initial stages of an hpv infection (1st 2 years)there is some risk that oral sex will transmit the virus to the recipient. This is given as one of the risk factors for oropharyngeal cancer associated with some HPV strains.
