HPV transmission

Hi,
I have been trying to meet someone through a herpes website as I have it. One of the men who contacted me has HPV. I've been doing a lot of online research on this including this board. Nothing helps more than to read other people's experiences. I'm supposed to meet him tomorrow but right now the HPV sounds like a big deal breaker. If I read things right it seems that even condoms won't completely protect against it. Having herpes is bad enough but taking a chance of catching something is something I'm afraid of. My question is that I wonder if there is any foolproof way of protecting myself against it. I know there is a vaccine but I don't think you can get it at my age (61). Since we meet tomorrow evening I would appreciate it if someone would give me their input about the probability of transmission to me. Thanks in advance for your help.
