    It is What it is...
    There are so many thoughts, opinions, and suggestions. I think it's just one of those things that has evolved due to change in norms and habits.

    I haven't read anything specifically that has definitvely defined the possibilities of conception.

    My wife had similar thoughts. She was tested during her annual exams and there is no evidence of HPV. It's just one of those things as mentioned several places above that we all either have, had or are portential to have. It doesn't mean that if it's in your body that it will become active, same as cancer.

    As far as I've been told and know, unless either are actually active and affecting some area in the body, there isn't even a way of detecting it. So I guess yes, the possibility of passing it back and forth is there, will it become active during you or your mates lifetime, more than likely not, but that's always a possibility. But in that same token, there's a possibility that anyone that you have been with could have given it to you, or you them.

    I haven't read anywhere the life time or cycle of the virus. Like I mentioned before, if I contracted it sexually from someone it had to have been dormant for over 20 years, same with my wife. So that makes me think that either most of us carry the cells and they either never become active or if so, it could be anywhere in time. Or that there definitely are other modes of conception.

    Just my thoughts and opinions....

    Best,

    You guys are great
    I love to read all your posts, sometimes I don't know what to say without blurting heaps of stuff all at once. One thing my doc said to me was, the thing on my tonsil had been there for 20 or more years, active for about 2 years, and something they could call c for 6 months, how they know that I don't know, but, I think I am going to ask at my next visit.

    Always try and find a happy thought

    Love Jen xxxxxxxxxx

    HPV
    Our bodies usually get rid of the HPV in a relatively short amount of time. We got left with an unfortunate parting gift BUT the HPV is almost certainly gone.
    The percentage of people who get sick from HPV is very small. This is the last thing you need to be worrying about in my humble opinion. Almost anyone who has ever had physical contact with another human being is at some risk.
    The HPV thing really bugged me at first because I felt like I had done this to myself. If I were to die my wife would be without a husband and my children without a father because of a choice I had my made at some point in my life. What a bunch of garbage.
    Keep kicking cancer's butt and keep thanking the Lord.

    Thats what I said...
    your HPV is most likely long gone. I was never told mine was HPV but most likely was. In my 40's, never smoked etc. I have been married 20 years. Wife tested negative for HPV. I could have gotten from her or her from me but now it is gone. Just because HPV(16) caused your cancer does not mean you still have HPV(16). As I said before, you WANT it to be HPV derived!

    Everything about this (or any) cancer is horrible. What we have gone through physically and mentally is incredible and shows that even though or bodies failed us in this way, they are still incredible machines that can take a lot of abuse. The brain is the same way. It also needs time to heal and adjust but it is a remarkable organ. I am 2 years out. I have had more than one time where the fear and depression of diagnosis and treatment were more than I thought I could take. Time heals. Once you realize that you don't know any more today than you did before cancer about the time and date of your death, then you go on.
