What I meant was that it was straightforward that there is nothing wrong or dangerous about patients and caregivers having sex. Everything I've read or heard says that fear of having sex is not based on facts.
As DavidCPA's post spelled out, the issue of HPV has lots of unknowns and so can't be characterized as "straightforward".
As I tried to make clear in this thread, there is no indication that sex between the caregiver and the patient in a monagamous relationship causes cancer regardless of the HPV status of those two partners. I hope you and Kevin set the sheets on fire forever.
