Can HPV Be Transmitted By Kissing?

I have been talking with Healthcare Magic over the last 4-5 weeks. I have been exposed to the sexually transmitted disease HPV, and as a male there is not any way to determine if I have actually contracted it. However, I have some questions about its transmission with future partners. I have understood from my earlier communications with you that: - HPV can be communicated through oral sex: an uninfected female can receive HPV through performing fellatio on an infected male - HPV can be transmitted through open-mouth kissing - The transmitters for genital HPV are not found in the mouth My question is - if the transmitters for genital HPV are not found in the mouth, then how is it that genital HPV can be transmitted through fellatio or kissing? Or can it be transmitted that way? Many thanks
