I've had genital warts since around mid-2024. I first treated the warts in November 2024, and since then I've been regularly having them treated with cryotherapy or cautery whenever they recur.

It's been frustrating because, despite ongoing treatment, I'm still getting recurrences nearly two years later, and I can't figure out why.

Because I'm aware of my condition, my partner and I don't have vaginal or oral sex to reduce the risk of transmission.

However, a few days ago, my partner licked my groin for a few seconds. A few days later, I noticed a small wart in that same area. Now I'm very worried that she may have had direct contact with the wart and could be at risk of developing an oral HPV infection.

I understand that oral HPV transmission is considered less common than genital HPV transmission, and I know it's impossible to estimate an individual's exact risk. However, I'm particularly concerned about the possibility of her developing oral HPV-related warts.

Based on what we know about HPV transmission, what do you think the likelihood is that she could develop oral warts from this type of exposure?
