Had Unprotected Sex. Found Bump On Labia. What Are The Chances Of Contracting HPV?

default
Posted on Fri, 24 Aug 2012
Question: Hi there,

A couple months ago I received unprotected oral sex from a rather promiscuous woman (stupid I know). Since then, I've entered a new relationship, and have had unprotected sex with my new girlfriend. Yesterday she found a bump on her labia.

My new girlfriend has never been with anyone but me, and outside of the oral sex encounter, I have never slept with anyone either (hard to believe, I know, we lost our virginity to each other). So, my questions are:

- could I have contracted HPV from my oral sex encounter, and pass it to my new girlfriend causing her bump?

- if her bump is a wart, are genital warts always caused by HPV?

Thank you.
