Look for postings by davidcpa, who lives in Gulfport and also was treated at Moffitt. He has been very active in gathering information about HPV and even testified before the Florida legislature about it during the Gardasil debate.

He wrote once that, at his insistence, Moffitt sent his slides to Hopkins for HPV testing (and, I believe, said that Moffitt was now doing such testing in all suspected HPV+ cases), so he would be a good resource for you. You should be able to get his e-mail address from his profile or by clicking the e-mail icon on any of his posts.

All the best,

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
