Common Questions & Answers about Warts

"Recently during a procedure to have a tooth pulled my oral surgeon noticed a "lesion" on the roof of my mouth. A biopsy was done and the results were Papilloma. My oral surgeon said this is nothing to worry about. However, after doing research on my own I discovered Papilloma is HPV, which seems to be most associated with genital warts! I am extremely upset over this. I have never noticed any warts on my genitals or had an abnormal pap smear. I am extremely concerned about whether or not this papilloma is contagious. Can I pass this Papilloma to my boyfriend through kissing or oral sex? Also, I now notice a bump on my uvula that just recently appeared. Is this spreading? Should I have this removed? How could I have gotten this? I am a 24 year old female who has tested negative for HIV. I consider myself in good health, although I do have a problem with eczema constantly. Also my tonsils have always been HUGE, now with this growth appearing on my uvula I feel like theres barely any room left in my throat! My biggest concern if whether or not I could have goven my boyfriend genital warts through oral sex becasue of this. The biopsy results just said PAPILLOMA. Nothing about HPV. Could it not be related to HPV at all? Please Help! Thanks "
