A member asked:

I had oral sex i am worried i have oral hpv.can hpv cause tonsillitis i had tonsillitis four times in the past six months?will it turn cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low risk of cancer: Your recurrent sore throats are likely to be due to some reason other than hpv. Most people are able to get rid of hpv. It would be prudent to see a doctor to ascertain the cause of recurrent tonsillitis.
