A member asked:
Is a swab of the oral cavity reliable for detecting hpv in the mouth if there are no warts, i.e. visible signs?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
When it is positive, it definitely means positive. However, a negative result can occur in at least half the swabs that should be positive.
