Hello,
I can understand your concern. I would not advise your practicing oral sex while your boyfriend is suffering from HPV as the virus can be transmitted through saliva. However, you can use female condoms to practice oral sex that will prevent transmission of virus.
Regarding your pregnancies, I would recommend to wait until your partner reaches the stage where he no longer sheds virus in saliva and semen and cannot transmit the virus to you or the fetus through you. Antiviral therapy can help to reach that stage which he may have started after finding out that he has HPV infection.
I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HCM. Take care.
Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
