A member asked:

Had hpv+, norm pap b4 hyster 4 benign reasons-normal path.scared of oral hpv/cancer now.been married 6 years. should i worry?is risk low?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stop worrying: Everybody has a few strains of HPV. If you're a tobacco user, stop. If not, the risk is miniscule. Ask your dentist to keep an eye on the inside of your mouth. You can't avoid every pathogen in life, and there's more to live than the terror of germs. Congratulations on a successful marriage. Keep up making each other happy in every way.
