Oral Transmission

by GreenPkl, Apr 07, 2008 10:02AM
I am a woman who was diagnosed with HPV about 6 months ago.  I have since met a wonderful woman who does not have HPV.  Is it possible for her to get HPV by performing oral sex on me?  Or can it only be transmitted if she touches me and then touches herself afterwards?

There isn't too much data on same sex couple transmission that I've found.  I have heard of cases where manual stimulation (touching oneself then touching the other) had caused warts in people when with a partner who was actively contagious.  However, I have only heard of this in wart strains.  Oral sex is typically a relatively low risk activity for those with healthy immune systems- if you have warts, few get them in their mouth, it is a very rare occurrence.

Thanks, I'm pretty sure that it's not active anymore.  I don't have any bumps or warts.  I found out through having an abnormal pap.  My last pap, which was when my doc told me about it, came out normal.  I'm due to have another pap done soon.
