what are my chances of getting genital warts from a single exposure?
I am an HIV negative man aged 33, and I recently had 7mins protected oral sex and 30 seconds protected vaginal sex with a woman with warts but i fear there was contact with my testicles.However, I don't have a single cut on my genitals. what are my chances of getting genital warts from this exposure?

The chances are low with a condom, but if any part of your shaft was uncovered, it's possible.
The skin on your testicles is too thick for the virus to penetrate.
If she has it genitally, she is only contagious from the genitals. It's possible to have it orally, but since it doesn't usually give symptoms, there's no way to know if she has it there, too. You used a condom for that, so chances are very low to transmit during condom-protected oral sex.

Thank you for your response, quite informative. May I ask again, does the presence of warts on her genitals increase the risk of HIV transmission to me even if I was wearing a condom? I have gathered from this platform that HPV is too common to worry about so my only concern now is HIV .
No, it doesn't. The condom prevents HIV transmission.
