Approximately 90% of adult US population has been exposed to the
HPV virus and their system clears it without the virus ever creating a problem or any ill effects. Only 1% of those with
HPV ever have the
HPV continue to turn into something more serious such as anal cancer, genital warts, cervical cancer and oral cancer. Of the
HPV+ oral cancers about 95% of those are located at the base of tongue or tonsil areas.
The "light" your dentist discussed with you will show abnormal areas in a patients mouth. The test will not identify exactly what is abnormal about that area. Only thru a biopsy will you get a definitive cancer yes or no answer. Being that your biopsy report was clean, that leaves means you're clean whether you have the virus or not.
