I am a 22yrs old male.
In response to Robins message I would like to tell my experience about HPV and ask some questions.
First, I believe I got HPV through oral sex, because after that I had no relationship for 8 months until I realized the warts on my genital area. I know it is possible that I got HPV in advance and they came out late but thats what I think. Then I visited a dermatologist, he removed the warts, then six months later they reappeared, I visited the doctor and he removed again. Anyway, couple of weeks ago(which makes 1,5 year after the possible infection), I found some wart-like growth under my tongue, I suspected that they were HPV warts as well. I visited a dentist, and he confirms that the abnormal growths are because of HPV. But he told that HPV does not cause oral cancer, maybe he just didnt want me to worry too much, but this contradicts with the scientific information given in many sources. By the way I have never given somebody oral sex in my life.The dermatologist told me that nobody knows, this 'may' spread even because of not washing the hands properly and etc...

Recently dentist removed the growth under my tongue, and sent it to pathology test when he saw that I was worrying about the cancer. I havent got the results yet but he told me in advance that that test would not reveal the HPV type, danger risk and etc...

Can anyone give me any information about these pathology tests? Does anyone know wheter these tests can diagnose HPV-linked oral cancer?

Thanks.
