Men can be tested for HPV too, as my husband was and many others on this forum. Our RO told us that many people get type virus in their lifetimes, but some are able to stay unaffected but others develop cancer. HPV responds well to treatment and the prognosis is generally better than oral cancer caused by smoking.
