most helpful answer i have no idea how your boyfriend got it. i know nothing about him or his past. the "h" of the hpv means "human" so we do know that he got from direct contact with another human. kissing? oral sex? he may not even know at this point. not all species of hpv is sexually-transmitted nor the type that causes cancer so perhaps you both should speak to his medical provider for some direct answers. if there are answers to be obtained.
boyfriend just diagnosed with oral hpv non cancerous. ive never been sexually active with him. how is this contracted?
