Yes: Sjogren's makes most wounds heal slower anyway. Since HPV often affects mucous membranes in the mouth, intestines and reproductive organs and Sjgroen's makes these drier than normal is would be more difficult to claer the HPV. Remember HPV has many forms and some stay in your system indefinitely once you have them but the symptoms will flare up from time-to-time.
