Chance of girl getting HPV from receiving oral sex/fingering?
What are the chances of getting genital HPV from receiving oral sex as a girl? Could I only get HPV types which cause warts and vulvar/vaginal cancer? Is there a chance that I could get cervixal cancer? I assume not because in that case there should be skin-to-skin contact with the cervix, right? Or could the virus go up from the vagina (this sounds silly to me)?
What are the chances of getting HPV from fingering? I read a lot of different information whether there’s a chance or not... I would think that there isn’t.
Also, should I get the vaccine now regarding that I only had this much sexual experience so far? I definitely think that I should but I know that I shouldn’t engage in any sexual contact for 6 months then. What if I do so? I would think that the vaccination is still worth it because the chances of getting all 4/9 types of HPV-s are low and I would still get some protection. What protection would I get if I have oral sex (but no intercourse) during the 6 months? Could I be protected from cervical cancer but be exposed to vulvar/vaginal then?
Thank you for your answers!

If you haven't had a lot of partners, I think the vaccine is a good idea.
Oral HPV exists but it is supposedly rare. So, if someone has it orally and performs oral sex on you, you could get HPV - high and/ or low risk but I don't know the chances of catching it. There is a orarisk hpv test available that is not fda approved that can test for hpv if you want your partner to do that first.
Manual stimulation can also pass HPV if you touch one private area and immediately touch your own or vice versa. So, don't cross touch while doing it and you'll be fine.
Best of luck and hopefully no stds!
Stay safe and smart!!!
