Repetitive anxiety driven questions are against forum policy, especially when the questioner ignores our expertise and advice both here and on at least one other online health forum. This thread will be closed after this reply, with no follow-up comments. You obviously have an abnormal obsession with HPV, for some reason focused on oral infection, chewing gum, and contact with persons' feet.
Why no risk? First, because the large majority of sexually active persons, including sex workers, do not have oral HPV; therefore the gum chewer probably didn't have it. Second, the sexually transmitted HPV types are only transmitted by intimate, direct person-person contact, and not through saliva. Even kissing rarely if ever transmits HPV, even if a kissing partner has an oral infection. Finally, having HPV is normal and expected -- you'll have it someday, probably more than once -- it happens to everyone, including common oral infections. Most infections cause no health problem, even in non-vaccinated persons.
Whose mom is "afraid"? Of what and why??
No home self tests for HPV are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and none are recommended by health experts, for any kind of HPV infection (genital, anal, oral). The only currently recommended HPV tests are done in conjuction with cervical Pap smears in women and sometimes anal Pap smears in men.
Do your best to understand and believe the reasoned, science based professional advice you have had repeatedly. If you cannot, you should consider professional counseling. Such obsessions are not normal -- germophobia (of various kinds) can be an early sign of serious emotional disability (rent "The Aviator", the biopic of the Hollywood/aviation mogul Howard Hughes. Which by the way is a great movie, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett).
I hope these comments finally settle these issues for you. This must be your last question here: repeated anxiety driven questions are deleted without reply and without refund of the posting fee. Thank you for your understanding. Happy new year and best wishes.
