Since hpv exists in your skin, in can be spread through skin to skin contact. HPV is the same virus whether it causes warts on your hands, feet, or wherever. The only difference is, a few specific strands affect the genital area. Wearing a condom can help but does not always offer full protection since they only cover your penis, and other places in that area can become infected instead.

The pictures you see on google are frightening... they are also the most outrageous and misleading pictures you will ever see. I have read hundreds of posts, and from personal experience as well, I can say that warts in this area are very tiny and only mild inconveniences. Pay no attention to those pictures.

Firstly, it is very rare for hpv to develop in mouths, and therefore unlikely that you caught hpv from receiving oral sex. Is it possible, yes... is it something worth deliberating over, no.

Additionally, what makes you think you contracted hpv? Do you have warts? Is this just paranoia?

You cannot get tested for hpv unless you have symptoms of it, and no it is not in your blood. It exists in the layers of your skin only.
