Is HPV orally Transmittable?

I had oral sex with a friend of mine last month and well, she just now told me that she had an HPV scare back in February and never got a clear answer on if she was positive or not. Well she just told me tonight and I'm scared.

Is it possible for HPV to be transmitted through oral sex?

Yes. HPV can be transmitted through oral sex.
"Genital HPV is transmitted by genital skin-to-skin contact, or through the transfer of infected genital fluids. This is usually during vaginal or anal sex, but it is also possible to pass it on through non-penetrative sexual activity.

In rare circumstances, a woman can pass HPV on to her baby during vaginal child birth. "

Non-penetrative sexual activity includes oral sex.

most definetly. I know a girl who got vaginal herpes from having oral sex. Her partner had oral cold sores. At the time, he didnt even have them on his lips but was shedding the virus. So now she has genital herpes from his oral herpes. Its very contagious. My exhusband had cold sores and he could often tell when he was going tohave a breakout a head of time (prodomes). He would tell me and we would refrain from sex until he got better. We wouldnt kiss either. Your partner has to be honest with you about it and its so comon now a days. You can continue to have sex just she has to take caution. She can always take suprressive therapy daily to prevent future outbreaks or can take it when she knows teh cold sore is coming on. Chances are that if she told you she had scare, she probably has it. People are often ashamed to admit they have an std or some wierd thing related to sex b/c its so stigmatized. Its not that bad as long as there is honesty. My bf and i have been together now for over a year. I have genital herpes for the past five years. He hasnt caught it yet b/c im honest with him and we use protection when i feel it coming on and take my meds. However, there is no guarantee b/c you can stil pass it on when you dont even know it! He loves me regardless! Im very l ucky!

Hope this helps! Also, if you plan on having kids one day, get checked out for herpes b/ cyou can pass it on to the baby just by kissing the baby. cold sores are deadly to an infant and they can die.
