Whether HPV virus can be transmitted through saliva usually needs to be analyzed according to the specific situation.

If there is no damage to the oral mucosa of normal people and HPV infected people, and there is no kissing, drinking the same bottle of water, sharing tableware, etc. with HPV infected people, HPV virus will not enter the body. At this time, it is usually not transmitted through saliva. If the integrity of oral mucosa of normal population and HPV infected persons is destroyed, and the above-mentioned situation exists with HPV infected persons, HPV is easy to enter into the body through the damaged oral mucosa and replicate. At this time, HPV will generally spread through saliva to cause infection of normal population.
