my wife recently tested positive for HPV. I have never had any warts and never done anything except mutual JO, frot and some oral. I know she has never been with anyone but me.
I have read things that say even couples that are faithful can get HPV.
Is it possible to caused this from some oral activity?
Anyone else have experience like this ?
Thanks

I guess the big question would be have you tested positive for HPV?
The most fertile grounds for disease transmission are the moist parts of the body, so your seemingly innocent play could easily be the source of her infection
I have no symptoms and understand no way to test a guy

Tracking down the source of HPV can be quite challenging, because the virus can lie dormant in the body for decades. Further, the initial infection may have no symptoms, but subsequent re-emergence of the virus can cause warts to appear at some unrelated time. Therefore, something long forgotten, that didn't even seem noteworthy at the time, can be the cause of a current infection. So, it is estimated that as many as 80% of sexually active people have, or have had the virus, but most never know it.

From my late 20's, until my early 40's, when my body finally cleared out the virus, I would have occasional appearance of HPV warts. Although we usually refer to HPV as an STD, mine were never on my genitals, and intercourse was apparently not involved. The initial site of the infection and warts was my left hand and wrist. This was misdiagnosed as an allergy to my watch band (the doctor I had in those days was clueless about sex in general, and gay sex was incomprehensible...), and in any event, the warts vanished after a while. (I now realize it was probably the consequence of having jerked off the wrong guy in the back room of some bar.) Years later, usually when I was under heavy stress, the warts would re-emerge. However, they would usually appear on my upper legs, in the groin area, but not on the genitals, and never on the hand where it all started. But they were clearly identical in nature.

During one such stressful time, I would sleep naked spooned behind my boyfriend. He appeared particularity susceptible, and the pattern of warts would transfer from my leg to his backside, as if with a rubber stamp. His doctor correctly diagnosed it as HPV for both of us. But, although the warts clearly facilitated transmission, supposedly transmission can occur even without visible warts. Eventually, everything cleared up for both of us.

There really isn't any test approved for men not presenting symptoms, but since the virus can lie dormant in either or both partners for years, the results wouldn't be necessarily be useful, even if there were. However, based on my experience, sexual intercourse is not necessary, as I managed to acquire and re-transmit the virus in situations that involved only hand and skin contact.

Thanks. I had my hand covered in warts for quite some time

Read the HPV page at the CDC website.

If you've ever had a wart of any kind you have HPV. There are over 170 varieties. The two types which cause genital warts are not known to cause cancer--unsightly though they may be. Two other types are known to cause 85% of HPV-driven cancers and a vaccine for these two is recommended for adolescents before they become sexually active. It's a set of two injections. Effectiveness of the vaccine drops dramatically after people become sexually active. If you have kids get them vaccinated before they start dating.

HPV spreads easily from casual skin to skin contact which is why so many people have warts in youth and later on.

My doctor told me that pretty much all people have herpes and most gay men have some form of genital herpes, even though it might never be manifested. The same thing for HPV. The danger in HPV for bottoms is the possibility of anal cancer. That's why bottoms should get anal brushing to see if there are any Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US), which could develop into cancer ( although very rarely). It's the same condition that women get Pap tests for.

For kids and the vaccine:

Two doses of the HPV vaccine are recommended for all boys and girls at ages 11–12; the vaccine can be given as early as age 9. If you wait until they’re older, they may need three doses instead of two.

Children who start the vaccine series on or after their 15th birthday need three shots given over 6 months. If your teen hasn’t gotten the vaccine yet, talk to his/her doctor about getting it as soon as possible.
