Thank you David, Brian, Gary and Ray for your candor and information. I will thoroughly review the HPV section for ongoing additional information. It would appear though from your responses that I "might, could, possibly" be an ongoing risk to infect a sexual partner because there is no way of determining whether I continue to have or be able to transmit the HPV +16 that I was diagnosed with at biopsy. Any intimate sexual contact at this point would be playing Russian Roulette with their health/life. Also, I'm pretty sure that the "oh BTW, before we go any further, I seem to have this teensie oncogenic virus that you might get" comment is likely to leave skid marks from my front door. I know I wouldn't take the chance if I knew. Oh well, there is lots more to life than sex and at this point, I am grateful to just be alive and able to do them. I'll keep an eye on this "string" (?) to see what other responses pop up. FYI, my Radiation Oncologist at MCV-VCU (Shiyu Song, M.D.) has indicated that he has a long history of studying HPV and may be interested in conducting a clinical trial along these lines. I'm sure he's already familiar with OCF but may be able to obtain some grant funds to begin.
