Like warts that appear on other areas of your skin, genital warts are caused by a virus — HPV — that infects the top layers of your skin. There are more than 100 different types of HPV, but only a few can cause genital warts. These strains of the virus are highly contagious and spread through sexual contact with an infected person. About two-thirds of people who have any kind of sexual contact(oral,intercorse) with someone who has genital warts develop the condition — usually within three months of contact, but in some cases not for years.
You can use a dental dam which can be bought at any drug store or can be gotten free at your local clinic...I would say use a dental dam if your gonna do it hun :) good luck!
