Yes, you can. I just read in the new paper that there is a rise in this type of cancer in the mouth because people are not really aware of catching it that way. But, the people this is happening most to is older people, I think that is what the paper said. But for sure you can get it in the mouth.

HPV can cause cervical cancer, various oral cancers, and rectal cancer.

Wearing a condom doesn't keep out this evil virus. It might keep out other STIs, but not this one. All it requires is skin contact; condoms don't cover all skin.

if you've already been infected with high-risk hpv, would it matter if you gave oral? it isn't common for mouth cancer to develop, correct?
(via hpv I mean)
