Most are able to clear it from their systems without their having to do anything or even knowledge that they have it in their bodies. Some members of the forum have had their spouses tested, I was never tested. Some people have chosen to get the gardasil vaccine even though they are already sexually active just in case. I would take it up with your doctors if I were you. Here’s the info on HPV on the main OCF site. https://oralcancerfoundation.org/?s=HPV
