For what it's worth, plenty of us with HPV+ diagnoses for our cancer had no risk factors, either, and no reasonable explanation for how we possibly could have been exposed to it. There's a lot nobody really knows about that one.

I hope your surgeries went well and that your recovery is progressing! How are you doing? Any complications, or did all go smoothly?
