If my husb is HPV positive, do I need to have a HPV test or worry about cervical cancer? We've been married over 30 years. Is this possible to have HPV that long before it presents in OC?

Jury is still out on many HPV related questions but we are told that the virus can lay dormant for decades before going to the dark side. It is also possible to be infected multiple times throughout one's life and the body can clear it over and over but one time it doesn't. Why? no one can say for sure but they all look to our immune system as perhaps holding the key.

Now here comes my 2 cents....so lets assume he tests positive for HPV in his cancer slides and lets also assume the radiation killed all the HPV virus in his oral cavity and lets assume you also are HPV clear and lets assume neither of you have extramarital sex from now forward (now I'm not implying that you did before), then the chances of either of you getting it and passing it are the slimest they could be. But even if either of you do acquire the virus it still doesn't mean that your immune system won't clear it in the future.
