Hpv transmission

Question

Can a male get infected by a hpv (both the low risk types and the high risk types that can cause cancer in both male and female) by

1. Kissing a female (french kiss) assuming both of male and female has gum disease

2. Receiving unprotected oral sex from a female

3. Fingering a female

4. Rubbing the skin of his scrotum / testicel to a female's vagina

5. Having a PROTECTED vaginal sex with a female (using a condom)

If there is a risk on any of the above scenario, how likely is it? I mean, is it a theoritical risk only and it won't happen in real life?

Thanks a lot for your help

All five sex acts you wrote can lead to getting or giving HPV. Fingering, frontage (rubbing of genitals) and french kissing are lower risks than safe genital sex and oral sex. If all you want is percentage of risk, it is not possible to guess because when doctors study sexually active people, they are doing all five sex and they can't tell which sex act passed the virus and which didn't. Condoms provide 50% protection. They don't cover much genital skin. Basically, there is no "safe sex" except no sex. Read what the govt has to say about HPV in the links below and get educated.

The answer to your first question is no. If she has oral HPV (and vew low % does), then the virus is in her body but it should not just spread to her cervix. 

Second question is a maybe. Frontage (rubbing of genitals against genitals) can pass the virus. Virgins have been diagnosed with HPV. Doctors think it could be due to fontage or to oral sex being performed on someone or hand sex. This is why doctors recommend that kids get the vaccine before they become sexually active. This does not mean that everyone who has frontage gets infected. Some do and some do not. Which explains why the CDC says condoms should be used early in the sex process. Waiting until penetration but doing frontage sort of defeats the purpose of condoms. Do realize that the virus in live all over the genital area not covered by condoms and therefore can spread to someone when two people are intimate.

Thank you for your info.

If a girl get infected by hpv because giving oral sex, can that hpv virus (regardless the type of the hpv virus) in her throat go down below to her (and infect her) cervics? I think the answer is no, am i right?

If a girl infected by hpv because rubbing her vagina with a man's penis and scrotum, can that hpv virus (again, regardless the type of the hpv virus) in her outer vagina skin go in, and then go up and infect her cervics? There is no vaginal or anal intercourse, the girl is a virgin, only genital rubbing happened

Thank you in advance for your help
