We played the blame game for a long time. I went to the Dr.finally and tested Neg for HPV. I had a total hysterectomy when I was 27 which was any years before I met George. George was single for 7 years and says he had many sexual partners so who he got it from we will never know. Neither of us have ever smoked but of course have been around lots of smokers. But they tell us this is usually caused by HPV. We still enjoy a full sex life even though our daughter says we should never do oral again. She says this as her husband is one of George's doctors and he knows all about this stuff. But I refuse to give in to this thing!
