Brian said....There are people working on a new vaccine that would work in people that have been exposed, and there has been some promising early work, but nothing near bringing to market in the near future.

When I first came here 100 years ago JH was doing a trial on boosting the immune's systems response to people already exposed to HPV, I assume under Dr Gillison. I tried to get involved but it would have meant traveling way up north at my own expense and we all know how much I hate cold weather. Anyway I digress. I haven't heard anything much since then. Any updates?

I did mention this trial to my Dr Trotti and he said there have been others in the past along the same lines that were not successful.

So Dr Gillison doesn't buy into the dormant thing? Your right about no studies proving (or I guess disproving) that. I'll have to ask Dr Anna Giulanna, a HPV researcher at Moffitt. She was one of those that told me 3 years ago that the virus could go dormant for decades as did Dr Beata Casanas, Hillsborough County, Fl Director of Communicable Diseases. Again that was 3 years ago. You have the privilege of being surrounded by these expert types constantly.
