Is a sore throat, after cunnilingus, a sign of hpv 16?

My boyfriend said that he would experience a sore throat, for about 2 hours, after going down on me.  This occured on multiple occasions for many months. He was recently diagnosed with HPV 16 related tonsil cancer.  Was the sore throat he was experiencing a sign or symptom that he was being infected by me?

This is not the usual posts we get around here so it's really difficult to say. If I had to wager, I'd say the door throat isn't related to hpv, but I really wouldn't know. Curiously, what were his tonsil cancer symptoms? That quite rare, I thought.
