HPV from anilingus?

Hi,
I am a man in a long-term monogamous hetero relationship, but recently had a brief encounter with a man (or unknown status).  I licked his anus, and briefly stuck my tongue inside his anus.

I have a few questions
1.  On the STD forum, the expert said that i could be at risk of HPV.  Is this correct?
2. If i do have HPV, would this would be oral HPV?
3. Are there any symptoms of oral HPV?
4. Are there any tests for oral HPV?
5. If i have oral HPV, can i pass it to my wife by
     a) kissing?
     b) performing oral sex on her?
6. If i have oral HPV, will it stay oral on me (i.e., not turn up as genital warts)?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Always ask your dentist for an oral exam. You should check your tongue, gums and mouth area periodically for growths.  People can get oral cancer from smoking cigs and drinking booze. The one time risk you took has very low odds of transmission. There are un-approved tests for oral HPV. Ig you google it, you will find a dentist near you that will test for it but without FDA approval, some feel it is a waste of money.

Oral to genital contact does carry risk for infection. If you did have infection it would be oral but genital HPV doesnt infect the oral cavity as easily as the genitals. Oral HPV is asymptomatic unless you develop warts but these are unlikely. There are no approved tests for oral HPV screening. On rare occasions you may pass it on while performing oral sex to her but kissing is unlikely to pass it on. If you had low risk strain that manifests as warts you may develop oral warts but as i said with the frequency of oral sex performed all around the world oral warts are quite rare so you should be ok.
