This forum is an un-mediated, patient-to-patient forum for questions and support regarding HPV issues such as: genital warts, causes, diagnosis, cervical cancer, HPV in men, PAP tests, treatment, telling your spouse or partner
Dr. Hook answered most of these questions before. He is an expert, you should trust his judgement. A layperson may disagree, but it does not make them right.
Like alll others on this community forum, I am not an expert. I will answer your questions to the best of my understanding, but I think you already have you answers and are over reacting.
HPV cannot be transmitted by fingering.
HPV cannot be transmitted by using the same toilet or shower.
I have never heard of kissing being described as a risk for spreading HPV.
HPV can be spread through oral sex, although it is less common than through genital to genital contact, and rarely has negative concequences.
HPV can be spread through protected sex if the condom breaks, or more likely to an area not covered by the condom.
You shouldn't worry. Nearly everbody gets at least one strain of HPV in their lives. Assuming this was not your first sexual encounter, it is likely that you have been exposed to HPV before, and will be exposed again. It is unavoidable for sexually active people. Fortunately, HPV rarely causes problems, especially for men.
