I believe what she is asking is: HPV is believed to have caused the cancer. Should he not also be treated for the HPV? Might it still be active and cause a reacurance? Could he not still give it to her? That is how I read the question. I couldn't possibly answer it, because I just don't know the answer. But I really would like to hear it. And if that is not the question, I would still like the answer wink
