Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at HCM.
I understand your concern and situation.
I would like to tell you that there is enough evidence that HPV infection can be sexually transmitted to the oral tract through oral-to-oral and oral-to-genital contact. So yes you can get infection if saliva comes in contact through vagina if the partner has infection.
Take care
