Question:
Are all strains of HPV transferable to the mouth?

No, not all. If warts appear in the mouth, it is caused by strains 6 and 11. Also, oral cancers can be caused by type 16. But there are over 30 types of genital HPV, and most of them are not transmittable to the mouth (only the few). Oral HPV is, at best, uncommon, although I do know people who have it.

I believe strains 6 and 11 can cause warts in the mouth. I don't think this is very common.
