 Hello,
Just some general information:
Genital warts are caused by HPV.
Chronic HPV can lead to cancer including penile cancer.
HPV can be transmitted to the oral pharynx causing subclinical condylomata.
(This last point is important to note because oral HPV infection from high risk behavior may double the risk of mouth and throat cancer.)
Therefore, use of condoms or abstinence are recommended for disease prevention.
An oral exam with magnification may help determine if the infection was spread to the mouth.
Take care.
