Angela,

David is unfortunately very right in this situation. My doctors were sharp and mentioned it up front before the surgery, even 4 years ago. They asked me point blank if I had had oral sex with a female that had tested positive for cervical cancer. The pathologist did not find any traces of HPV in my tissue removed so I still do not have a reason as to why I got the cancer.
