kimh HPV virus is not visible in the mouth. It lives within the cells themselves and it is capable of mutanogenic changes in those cells. But out of the over 100 types of HPV there are only about 4 which have this ability, If it is producing a wart, (a papilloma) it is likely not one of the dangerous types. Therefore there is nothing to see. The type that causes genital warts for instance is not the type that causes cervical cancer.
