Can HPV Be Transferred Through Kissing?

I'm 25, male, have had the second of the 3 part gardasil hpv vaccine. I know that since I won't have the final shot in the 3 part series of gardasil for another few months I could still get HPV if I have vaginal, anal or oral sex. But is it safe for me to kiss someone who has a strain of HPV but it isn't specifically an oral strain? Can HPV be transferred through kissing?

HPV doesn’t generally transmit through kisses. Continue vaccine dosages as vaccine prevent the illness.
