Assuming hpv refers to human papilloma virus, hpv can be transmitted through kissing.

Can leukoplakia be transmitted by itdelf? When HPV is not present?

leukoplakia means white patch, there are many disease entities undelying leukoplakia. Only when specific lesions are ruled out, we( oral pathologist) may sign out as leukoplakia, which is almost never signed out in a pathologic report. I can't answer your question.
