If someone has HPV, Oral or Genital, what are the chances of spreading this to the other partner? If you have oral sex, what are the chances of passing HPV to the other person orally? What are the chances of the other person being infected with oral HPV through Oral Sex? What about genital contact without penetration? If the infected person receives Oral HPV, can he/she pass on the virus through kissing (on the cheek, on the mouth, etc), drinking after someone, sharing a towel, touching your mouth/genital area and touching the other person? Does the wart have to be directly touched by skin in order to pass it?
What are the initial symptoms of genital and oral HPV? At what point does the HPV virus become active after you might have initially had sexual contact with an infected person (for instance: if you have unprotected sexual contact with someone who is infected, how long does it take for the virus to spread through your system before you are able to pass it to another person?)
I understand that most HPV types do not show any symptoms and as a result, I am talking about the HPV types which cause warts.
I would like to get tested for HPV, what are the ways a male and female can do this and what is the most effective for oral and for genital HPV? What is the most effective treatment for both as well?
