The medical oncolgist I went to suggested testing for HPV. She was certain my tumor would test positive as I didn't have any other risk factors. I really didn't care because I knew it wouldn't affect the course of treatment. She just went through the lab that hospital used; she didn't have to send it to Johns Hopkins. At first it came back as a "high risk HPV" and it took a couple more days for them to "type" it. I ended up with HPV-33. I'm not sure if the virus originated with me or my husband, but I do know it would have been contracted more than 30 years ago (that's how long we have been in our relationship). I was surprised my primary care physician had that I was HPV positive in my records and never told me. I do get a pap every year, but I could have missed a year if I wasn't aware that I was at risk.
