Three questions related to HPV?


Can a girl get genital warts/bumps from HPV if she preforms only oral sex?

Once you are exposed to HPV, is your entire body effected, or is it localized to only the exposed areas? (like herpes)

Do the warts/bumps only appear in the genital area?

Warts of any kind are HPV (Human Papilloma Virus).
The type you get on your hand & feet are a different strain then Genital warts.

Genital warts can appear in the pubic area, on the genitals, in the anus, and/or in the vagina. They look like small flesh-colored, pink or red growths in or around the sex organs. The warts may look similar to the small parts of a cauliflower or they may be very tiny and difficult to see. They often appear in clusters of three or four, and may grow and spread rapidly. They usually are not painful, although they may cause mild pain, bleeding and itching. HPV infection is the most common sexually transmitted disease in North America and certain forms of the virus can cause cervical cancer.

Question 1: Yes
Question 2: HPV only causes warts in the genital area, it does not work like genital herpes, even if you were infected in the mouth.
Question 3: Yes, they only appear around the genital area.

HPV is transmitted via sexual contact, therefore #1 question is Yes.
You are systemically infected, but is localizes to the male genitalia and female reproductive areas and anal areas of both male/female. Mothers can pass it onto their babies easily.
S&S: Warts appear on male genitalia area. Female in utero.
Diagnosis: Visual inspection by qualified medical person, abnormal PAP smear on females or HPV DNA test.
No vaccine for men, only women. Antivirals for both.
Hope this helps...more info...go to Mayo.clinic.com - very helpful web site on this issue.

YES, YES and no. You can also have the warts/bumps on your face, mouth, throat as well.
