Brief Answer:
Warts in oral cavity is a rare possibility.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) or prevention is available only for HIV and other important bacterial STIs. PEP for HIV will be effective only when taken within 72 hours. For bacterial STI also prophylaxis will work when taken as early as possible.
There is no prevention for rest of the viral STIs except for protected coitus. Genital wart is a viral STI.
But warts in mouth is not so common. I had not seen in my practice. But has been reported by others.
Thanks.

Even if I get infected with genital warts by HPV, How difficult to treat? I guess it's treatable right?
I am sure, the possibility of HIV is null. but I am thinking mainly of HPV because he had genital warts and unknowingly I had oral sex with it.
Suggest the tests to be done to confirm HPV, waiting period for the same and its accuracy.
