[Question #3053] High Risk HPV Transmission
92 months ago
|
Dear Dr. Hunter Handsfield,
I have had a couple of risky exposures in the last few months. Please let me know my risk of getting high risk HPV (cancer causing HPV) from these exposures.
Exposure 1: I visited a sex worker. We had genital rubbing without condom. My penis head rubbed against her vulva and/or clitoris (without penetration). What are my chances of getting high risk HPV from this exposure?
Exposure 2: I performed oral sex on a sex worker. After 40 days, she got her cervical swab test done and tested negative for high risk HPV and HPV 6, 11. What are my chances of getting high risk HPV from this exposure?
Please advise.

Thanks for the reply. I have the following follow up questions. Request you to please reply.
In exposure 2, after I performed oral sex on the girl, the girl got tested negative for high risk HPVs after 40 days. Is there still risk for me getting oral HPV from this exposure?
If I have HPV, can I pass it to my child accidentally by hand to genital contact while bathing him?
If I have oral HPV, can I pass it to my child through contaminated food, utensils, straw, etc?
Thanks in advance.
