HPV in my boyfriend's mouth
I have low risk HPV, I'm calling my doctor today to figure out which strand. I've had it for over a year but if my boyfriend eats me out then kisses me, could I transfer anything to my mouth? I don't think I have the type to cause warts but I do already have a small bump on the roof of my mouth. Any ideas?

There are over 100 strains of HPV and there are absolutely no tests to find out if you've already given it to your partner.
With that said, if you engage in any sort of sex where your HPV infected genitals touch his body he may contract the exact same strain of HPV.
There is no cure for HPV.
There is no test for men to see if they have contracted any strain of HPV.
There is no magical shot that will protect you from all of the HPV strains.
If your boyfriend goes down on you he can very well contract the HPV into his mouth and down to his vocal cords. When he kisses you, his mother, his siblings, or his future girlfriend(s) then he will spread it along to many people.
The warts might be what you're worried about most but many strains of HPV cause cancer.
Which is worse: Warts in your mouth or cancerous lesions down your esophagus?
Then you should question your thought process on this: Do you REALLY want to infect your partner with this lifelong illness that he won't be able to treat, cure, or keep to himself?
For an added bonus, your boyfriend could actually sue you if you transmitted a strain of HPV to him that he did not have previously and that you knew about before engaging in sexual activity with him. It's true. A lot of people actually take their former lovers to court over these sorts of bodily damages because they were not told upfront that their now-ex partner had X, Y, or Z illness that was contagious.
That being said, if you have not already you should tell your partner about your HPV problem.
Using a dental dam and condoms can help lower the risks of spreading the HPV but condoms just aren't 100% effective on preventing this sort of thing from spreading. People with HIV/AIDS can even spread it to their partners when using condoms and other protective measures so you have to question your own health as well as your partners. If you don't want to infect him and feel strongly that you have not at this point then you need to figure out 1. how to tell him and 2. if you want to remain with him (because that will eventually mean passing the HPV along).

Hi there,
The important thing here is to remember that this is usually for life. This isn't something you should trick him into.
The short answer is yes, it will transfer to your mouth. And anywhere else he puts his mouth.
If he kisses his sibling, you have just cursed them with HPV for life. If you guys break up someday, you will have to live with the idea that any girl he marries in the future will also be cursed by your selfishness.
It is also important to note that condoms don't work very well at all with HPV.
Please don't do this.
