We did ask Ken's oncologist about this and she said that if you have had more than 2 partners in your lifetime you have most likely been exposed to HPV and it just depends on how your body deals with it. She said I should continue to get annual pap smears and she said we should give our daughter the vaccination when she is old enough.
