DNA test negative but tissue sample is postive?
Hi,
Few months ago, I discovered that I have some warts on my genital area.
I asked my doctor a biopsy.
But the test result is bit weird. (My doctor admits that this is quite a rare case)
DNA test itself says I'm HPV free.
But Microscopic Findings says I have condyloma acuminatum.
My doctor told me that, There is a chance my immune system eliminated the virus, but affected cells remain.
Or other no known HPV changed my cells.
What would be the cause of this situation? Do I have HPV or No?
