HPV + oral cancer risk05/07/2008 10:02AM |
I`ve been in a committed lesbian relationship for the past two years. Both of us get our yearly pap smears (which always come back normal). My question - with the recent link between HPV and oral cancer - could we be at risk? Are normal pap smear results sufficient to reassure us that we are not carriers of the high risk HPV (16/18)? Should we be doing anything else? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Thank you for visiting NetWellness. This question would be better answered in the Oral Cancer topic. Please look in that topic for an answer to your question.
