My GYN swabs for HPV at the same time she does a PAP smear. I don't know how common this is among doctors but that is how a chronic HPV infection is detected. If HPV is found, they will actually retest later to see if it has cleared. Most of the time it clears on its own.

There is no "cure" for HPV in the same way there is no cure for the common cold. You just have to get over it like most other viruses. Also, there's only a significant chance he can get it if she actually has an active infection which is unlikely (but not impossible).


I mean't survivor rate for throat cancer is pretty good from what I read.

Yes, it's very common to get a negative HPV result after a positive one. They expect it to clear up. Multiple GYNs have told me that HPV is so common they're almost not even sure why they bother to test for it. Everyone on the planet could have it - the tests only show who has an active infection at that time. It remains dormant in the body until a certain time (maybe stress related, who knows) and then it shows up again in the blood panel.

The CDC says "HPV is so common that nearly all sexually active people get it at some point in their lives."

There's no blood panel for HPV, dummy.

You can get it from oral sex with someone who has hpv.
However, it just takes once- your blaming this woman for giving someone hpv is speculative and just ridiculous.
He could definitely gotten oral hpv on his own during one of his own sexual encounters anytime in his life.

Yes, most people have HPV. It's a matter of who has gotten the rare aggressive kind that can cause cervical or head/neck cancer.

Head and neck cancer is nasty. Think about where it is. Even if you survive it it is not pleasant to have had head and neck radiation - there are long lasting side effects.

My OB only tests for HPV if the Pap results are abnormal. Otherwise, it's pointless--you could have it and never know it and it will clear up on its own. It's also impossible to tell when you were infected, because the virus can lay dormant for years.

HPV does not go dormant and then reappear. You're thinking of herpes. HPV will completely clear on its own in most people. Also, there is no such thing as an HPV blood panel. Once again, you're thinking of herpes. Not the same thing AT ALL.

Your post reads like this:

The guy died and I'm certain his wife is to blame because she was a slut before they married. Should I warn the new guy?

WTF? So you are "certain" his wife gave it to him..how?? Were you with him at the doctor's office? Are you privy to any testing they did on him or his (former bartender-horrors) wife?

You sound like a truly horrible and misogynistic person. But don't let us stop you. Go warn all the men who are dating these harlots who had a sex life before them. Make it your mission in life to save the pure men from certain disease.

lol I didn't read it like that. no one said anything about telling the new guy. More like curiosity if the new guy could get it if she was the carrier. Certainly sounds like new guy has a chance of getting it. You sure project a lot.

Exactly. Mine was a bank robber. Before that he did what Bernie Madoff did on a smaller scale. We're happy and people change. If someone is happy then who care?
