This is a follow up question to Q11301, deep french kissing. I had a lesion on my tongue that I had looked at and it had gone away and had told to return if it had come back. , I had developed another lesion on the same side but on the side of my  tongue that was red and raised with a concavity , a white spot or spots that seemed to be in the middle, which was bumpy on touch and painful, I had been run down lately with a sore throat, difficulty swallowing and possibly raised glands, I had also developed an ulcer high had gone away in a few days. I have been using salted water and the redness on the tongue  seems to be reducing. My question is could this be HPV on my tongue and would it behave this way if it was , if there. Is a possibility it os HPV, how do I go about checking it, also could I spread this to someone via kissing or any other activity, it is still there but reduced, if it goes away should I still get it checked.  Could this be another STD such as gonorrhoea etc… could you get STDs from deep French kissing. 

Welcome back to our forum. It appears that you remain concerned about the potential consequences of deep French kissing with the massage therapist who you were seeing. Now, almost 3 months after we last interacted, you continue to worry. While we do not make diagnoses over the Internet, the sore areas that you describe do not suggest warts or any other STI. Among the reasons I say this is that it has really been too long for warts to be appearing, that warts and other STI‘s do not come and go in the manor you describe, and that warts and other STI are not painful on those rare occasions when they occur on the tongue. There are many normal irregularities which do occur within the oral cavity and on the tongue. This may be one of those. My suggestion for getting these lesions evaluated, if they persist ( it sounds like they are improving) is to be seen by an ear nose and throat specialist.---

Thank you Dr
