Really Need Help !!!
So a good friend of mine told me that he found out a little over 3 years ago he had contracted HPV, he ended up with a single wart in his groin area at the bottom of the shaft of his penis. He went to the dr they gave him the 3 shots for the HPV vaccine and gave him cream to make the wart go away he had a allergic reaction to the cream so they told him he could have it froze off but he hasn't done it because he's scared too...
We ended up having too much to drink one night ended up making out and grinding on each other with clothes, he went down on me, and I went down on him, but just the head for a few minutes and not until he came. We ended up both in underwear grinding against one another but he never entered my vagina, but I did just have on thin lace thongs so not sure how much of a barrier the underwear was during the skin to skin...
What are my chances that I contracted HPV from him with that encounter ? I need to know what should I do now, or what should I expect ? He claims he's not able to pass it along because of the vaccine and the wart is just "there" and he's only had that one and its never gone away or grew he's fine but I don't know about all that so thats why I wanted to ask. If he's misinformed ok, but I want to know what are my chances that I got HPV from that encounter ? Thanks

Your friend is misinformed. With an active wart, he is infectious. Many men get a wart at the base of the penis because condoms don't cover that area. The vaccine only protects him against some new strains he doesn't already have like the high risk for cancer strains. He still has the one (or more) strains that caused his genital wart and will always have the virus in his body. His best course of action is to get that wart removed via freezing asap and then wait 3-6 months before having sex with anyone again. Even oral sex or frontage (rubbing genitals) should be put on hold until he has no more warts for a few months.
What you did was safe and highly unlikely to result in any infection. But the chances are not zero when one has an active genital wart anywhere. Most people have multiple strains and genital skin includes thighs, buttocks, scrotum, etc. And some warts are under the skin and not visible. If you are looking for a % risk, its probably less than 5%. Since women can get tested, you should get tested for HPV annually. Average time from infection to a positive test result or a wart showing up is 2-3 months but some people can get them earlier.

thanks for commenting back. I think he thought since it has been over 3 years since his initial breakout with no more new warts or changes in the one he thought he was fine...
Regardless I need to know that I am fine. I just didnt know since I did go down on him for a short time ( not until ejaculation) and there was heavy dry humping with underwear on his and mine that I am ok.
Two days after It happened i had a sore throat not sure if thats related or not.
