Oral sex is very safe; the chance of any STD transmission is low. The highest risk is for oral herpes being transferred to the genitals of the partner receiving oral sex. HPV is not normally transmitted by oral sex, in either direction. No STD, including HPV, is transmitted by hand-to-genital contact or vice versa. (Some people claim there are exceptions, and they may be right--but if so, it is rare.)
You absolutely have no obligation to inform your partner or anyone else of your past genital warts. That infection probably is now gone; but even if not, you could not have transmitted it to his hands. And there is no reason to suspect that your HPV infection also involved your mouth, so performing oral sex on your partner didn't risk HPV transmission.
Nobody knows how long HPV can be transmitted after warts clear up, so there is no hard and fast rule about informing future partners. But since you had recurrent warts (although no way to know whether they really were recurrent, or a new infection), perhaps you have greater risk than other persons to have persistent infection. The conservative (and polite) approach would be to inform future partners of your recent infection. But if you go a full year without reappearance of warts, in my opinion you would not need to inform partners after that.
I hope this helps. Good luck-- HHH, MD |
