Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the name of a group of viruses that includes more than 100 different strains or types. More than 30 of these viruses are sexually transmitted, and they can infect the genital area of men and women including the skin of the penis, vulva (area outside the vagina), or anus, and the linings of the vagina, cervix, or rectum.
Some of these viruses are called "high-risk" types, and may cause abnormal Pap tests. They may also lead to cancer of the cervix, vulva, vagina, anus, or penis. Others are called "low-risk" types, and they may cause mild Pap test abnormalities or genital warts. Genital warts are single or multiple growths or bumps that appear in the genital area, and sometimes are cauliflower shaped.

**As most infected people do NOT show symptoms (but are still contagious), there is no way to "tell" if your boy has it or not other than being tested.
AS ALWAYS, MAKE SURE YOU USE PROTECTION (INCLUDING DURING ORAL SEX) I AM ASSUMING YOU ARE OF LEGAL CONSENSUAL AGE AND UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF YOUR ACTIONS THAT CAN EFFECT THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
