If it is the right side of your tongue by your teeth...then, that is the mobile part. The base of the tongue goes down to the throat area.

I think you'd be the first here to have HPV on the mobile tongue. My understanding was that HPV could only be determined from testing a sample of the biopsy.

Did they present HPV to you as a definitive conclusion or as their best guess?
