Brief Answer:
HPV is not transmitted by oral sex.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using Healthcaremagic to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.

HPV does not show symptoms nor cause any problem in a man.
But you should not have unprotected sex anyway to avoid other possible sexually transmitted infection or unwanted pregnancy.

You cannot get HPV by oral sex.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.

Regards,     
Dr. Papaqako
