I have high risk HPV as well, and my doctor recommended that we hold off on oral sex for now, especially since HPV has been linked to rare tongue and throat cancers. I will say that after telling my boyfriend, he shared that a male coworker just had to have part of his tongue cut out due to cancer that is likely linked to HPV (he and his wife have it). So, after hearing that, I'm taking my doctor's recommendation VERY seriously.

Hi friends...
I asked the same question to my gyn/ob who specializes greatly in HPV told me it is extremely , extremely low chances to get it in your mouth. Unless, you are immune-comprised, like HIV positive, and if you smoke. Smoking is linked to mouth and oral cancer and if you smoke and also have had exposure to HPV you chances are now greater.

I was just reading up on HPV on the net and it said that you can get throat cancer from oral. It seems weird but I guess it's true.
