Nick:

Welcome to OCF. Please take a few minutes to read the info for new memebers, it will help guide you. Also, please start your own post for asking questions. When you have time, add some info to your profile for a signature so others can know something about you and its easier to answer your questions.

HPV has been discussed many many times here. Have you been tested positive for it? For info you can search on the forum or on the main pages, both are full of info. There are several members here who are very well informed about HPV, sorry Im not one of them. If you post on your own new thread, then they will see it easier and answer your questions.

When in doubt, always see a medical professional. Best of luck to you.
