ok, if I urinate while having genital warts is it possible for them to spread to my mouth or other places by touching those other places. If so how easy? and another thing. what are some symptoms of HPV/Herpes or whatever, do they make your lips chapped and like the skin peel on your lips? I really dont think so since I got really sun burned a while back and peeled everywhere else so maybe my lips got a little dry too, but please everyone. Intelligent answers only, this is a serious matter. Thanks :)

Okay first HPV and herpes are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT viruses. They are not the same thing!
Second, it is possible to spread genital warts to the mouth and throat. This is REALLY rare and is spread by somone giving oral sex to someone who has genital warts. It would be really rare to spread genital warts to your mouth just from touching the warts and then touching your lips. (I don't know why you would do this anyway....)
Third, herpes sores on the lips do usually peel and can scab. But so can sun burned lips.
You really need to find out which virus or viruses you have. It seems like you might be a little confused between HPV and herpes.

Genital warts are very contagious and are spread during oral, vaginal, or anal sex with an infected partner. They are transmitted by skin-to-skin contact during vaginal, anal, or (rarely) oral sex with someone who is infected. About two-thirds of people who have sexual contact with a partner with genital warts will develop warts, usually within 3 months of contact.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the world. More than 100 different types of HPV exist, most of which are harmless. About 30 types are spread through sexual contact. Some types of HPV cause genital warts—single or multiple bumps that appear in the genital areas of men and women including the vagina, cervix, vulva (area outside of the vagina), penis, and rectum. Many people infected with HPV have no symptomsThe only way you can prevent getting an HPV infection is to avoid direct contact with the virus, which is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact. If you or your sexual partner has warts that are visible in the genital area, you should avoid any sexual contact until the warts are treated.
Research studies have not confirmed that male latex condoms prevent transmission of HPV, but studies do suggest that using condoms may reduce your risk of developing diseases linked to HPV, such as genital warts and cervical cancer. Unfortunately, many people who don’t have symptoms don’t know that they can spread the virus to an uninfected partner.

HPV can be spread into the throat, but it is not common. It usually affects the vagina and/or the anus only.

~~yes it is possible to spread it especially if you have open wounds.... always be sure to wash your hands with an antibacterial soap after using the bathroom, and if you suspect there is a chance that it has spread already, see your doctor as soon as possible.~~
