Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
The risk of acquiring Oral HPV infection can not be ruled out through Anilingus (oro-anal contact).
Moreover, the individual is also at risk for so many other STDs (if not any ulcerative STDs) like pharyngitis due to Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Hepatitis A, endo-parasitic infection, Amebiasis, Giardiasis etc.
