Here are some...: I would like to commend your keen effort in being watched and followed for HPV-related concern. Under current scenario, it would be most logical and beneficial for you to address this Q to your gyn-doc. Further online chat may induce more unnecessary confusion and anxiety because no one can offer a definite answer but cautiously watch and see under professional monitoring.
