Transmission through a BRIEF touch?
So my partner has only ever shown symptoms in is rear, our genitals may have briefly touched a few times. Is that all it takes to receive HPV?
Best Answer
Oral is a very unlikely way of getting HPV, because oral HPV is rare and he had no lesions on his penis - i don't think you have anything to worry about, just use a condom if you engage in sex
Also I have also performed oral... Have I screwed myself over? Even though he has only show symptoms of anal warts? I haven't done any penetrative sex. Just touching with the hands and oral.
You can get it that way, but briefly touching isn't a very significant way of catching the virus, it's mainly done through penetrative sex, so my guess is you'll be okay
