I would suggest discussing your specific questions with your doctor. Our group is made up of oral cancer (OC) patients/survivors and caregivers. While some of our members are
HPV+, many are not and some have not been tested for it. OCF is devoted to helping OC patients and their caregivers, we do not always have info about other ailments, even
HPV.
OCFs members can not replace info that comes directly from a doctor. Hopefully your doctor is up to date with their
HPV (which is an STD) knowledge!!! We do NOT have medical backgrounds, years of medical education, clinical patient experience, etc. Many years ago, OCF's founder met a young researcher Dr Maura Gillison who is behind most of what we know today. Theres still much more that is unknown about
HPV than is known but more is being discovered all the time. If you click on any of the highlighted
HPV initials, you will be taken to OCF's
HPV info where you can read many, many pages of info.
