Oral HPV

[Alana84]

I got HPV 5 years ago, from my husband, who I am married to now. He is the only person I have ever been with. I have had cervical dysplasia and have had cryosurgery, I also have had genital warts. Every year since then, I get a Pap and it is normal. My husband and I only had oral sex a few times early in our realationship. I recently noticed I do FOR FACT have some oral warts. Ive been reading about how HPV is linked to throat cancer and I am EXTREMEMLY worried and freaking out, (because of my pre-cancerous condition in the past.) I do not smoke or drink, so ive read thats a plus. So, my overall question is.....I had both dysplasia and warts. I thought low-risk HPV gave you warts and high-risk could give you cancer. Is there a type that produces both? or is it possible I have two strains of HPV? Should I be worried about throat cancer?

it is possible to have 2 diff strains of hpv at once.....cervical is caused primarily from 16 and 18 and sev other types.....high risk....and genital warts caused by low risk 6 and 11.what does ur doctor advise regarding the ones in the throat?leaving cervical hpv untreated and throat warts untreated leaves u at risk for the development of cancer.....very good ur getting medical treatment and keeping up on this yes?
