Hi all, I've just caught up on the many conversations on HPV. I can see it's been an active topic! One question that I didn't see answered was if anyone knew the accuracy of the oral HPV test that is offered at many dentist's office. You gargle a saline solution for 30 seconds that is then sent in for PCR testing. It tests for many genotypes. Does anyone have any insights? Does it measure a point in time? i.e if negative, you've never been exposed or don't have active infection. If positive, active infection that may clear?

Any knowledge appreciated!

Thanks,
