Well I was at first under the impression of an STD but now i've dug into something maybe a bit more serious. Around August after unprotected oral sex two days later i experienced sore throat and fatigue. Initially I was under the impression I had herpes or HIV, but digging into my gf's past I have found out she once was tested positive for HPV. Now before we became sexually engaged she mentioned in July her pap smear came back normal. I under HPV can lie dormant which is why I still have concern. I've been through two rounds of antibiotics, and my throat still doesn't feel right. It isn't sore anymore, however, every time I drink something I have to belch. I had tonsil stones at one point in time but not anymore. My throat goes through some briefs periods of feeling uncomfortable and I also noticed a slight pain in my left ear. I'm hoping that it is pure anxiety and this isn't all signs of HPV provoked throat/oral cancer. I mean she had her gardasil shots but they didn't record the strain of HPV or anything. Im assuming if it were HPV-16, 18, or any of those that can cause cancer they would have disclosed that information to her. Well we have been having oral sex regularly and im afraid the symptoms im suffering with my throat could be precancerous or possible throat cancer caused by HPV exposure. Please help. Should I be worried? I'm going to an ENT but i'm very nervous.
