I was told by Dr Anna Giuliano, Chair, Dept of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, who I have traveled with and given speeches with, that HPV is highly contagious and can be transmitted via deep throat kissing so I agree Vaibhav's post. I also agree that more about HPV is NOT known than is known.

CubanKeith, how do you know that your cells are positive for HPV if the biopsy isn't finished?

Adding a Signature Line would be most helpful if you plan to continue to post.
