Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you.
I am Dr kakkar (Dermatologist and Venereologist). I have noted your concern.
The probability of contracting HPV in the oral cavity from performing oral sex on a sexual partner with HPV is 20%. If she has only genital HPV, she can't give you genital HPV infection from unprotected oral sex on you.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
I mean 1 in 5 chance of transmission per sex act. HPV is mucosal / skin infection. It is not a blood infection so bleeding won't increase the risk of transmission any further.
