Charm,

Thanks for this very informative post.

Brian,

In the Globe you said that both you and your wife get tested regularly to see if HPV has returned (or do you mean active). What is the test and how will your behaviors as a couple be affected if the results are positive? Would one have to abstain from sex with their spouse until the next test was negative? I apologize if I am invading your privacy. I don't mean to. I only ask because this topic is thought-provoking and of concern to me.

I understood that the reason younger people (high school) chose oral sex over traditional sex was to avoid pregnancy. Anyway, there is an overwhelming need to educate everyone about OC. Let's keep the candle burning.
