Well, Hubby went in to see his ENT for his check-up and he requested (at my insistence!) that his biopsy be tested for HPV. The ENT agreed to call it in for the test. Additionally, I have an appointment with my GYN this Friday, and I've already told her that in addition to my regular pap test, I want to be tested for HPV. Hopefully, we will get some real results that can at least let us know where we stand.

Thank you all so much for the information and input!

We have a couple in our village that were both diagnosed with SCC BOT cancer one year apart from each other. I know their case is highly unusual, but it motivated me to ask the ENT to have a good look at my throat, something she happily did and gave us peace of mind when it she said everything looked fine.
