HPV from oral

I recently found out someone I have dated once had HPV. I am male.  We french kissed a few times and I received oral sex from her once.  Is it possible that she transferred HPV to me from kissing or having her perform oral sex on me? No genital to genital contact happened and i did not give her oral.

The mouth is a very poor transferer of STDs except for gonorrhea and perhaps syphilis. Very poor for transering HPV. You have a much higher risk of getting hit by lightning than by any serious thing with oral HPV.

You did not say where she had HPV. HPV stays in the same tissue where it was first contacted. She probably had genital HPV.

People can get low risk HPV in their mouth. High risk (which CAN lead to cancer) is more probable orally, but is still far less common than genital HPV.

I say you should relax and not worry. See your dentist twice a year for a checkup. If you are a smoker, quit smoking 100%. Stop any heavy drinking. You'll be fine.Heavy drinkers/smokers are more likely to get serious oral HPV issues.

I am 90% sure that she had genital HPV. Is there any way she may have given it to me by using the restroom without washing her hands then touching my genitals during oral sex?

[warzipp]

She used the restroom just before we began

HPV is transferred mostly skin-to-skin. To be transferred by her hands would be skin to skin to skin. That is even more unlikely to have happened.

As a guy, I would not be worried so much about genital HPV. In us guys, penile cancer is extremely rare. Nothing to freak out about.

As one of the doctors on the expert site would point out, you have a greater chance of suffering from a cataclysmic illness in your old age (70s, 80s, older) than from HPV.

No, you dont have it. She most likely had HPV on her genitals.

Unless she had HPV in her mouth but thats very unlikely to happen.
