Since sex is upside down the 6 turns to 9.

No of course not, types dont change.

So why some doctors say this is a DNA virüs and because of that can change type?
Maybe on a looonger scope the virus can evolve, combine etc. In a population, over many years. So some new serotypes could be observed.

But not within a single interpesonal transmision. There we observe classic common types as unchangeable.
So can we say partners have same hpv type(one of them have first sexual activity)?

Thank you
Yes, if you have 6, your partner would probably also have 6 if one of you was a virgin.
