The problem is that you type in the wrong forum and looking through the wrong doctor, your problem is not physical but mental, schedule an appointment with a psychologist!

There is no need for you to re-write all of your information, we can see the exact same post at the top of the screen. I have tried to be patient and coach you through this, but you are not listening. You have no reason t believe you have HPV. You have no STDs, you DO NOT have any reason to worry about HPV.  I looked on your profile and I am concerned, as I saw numerous posts, exceeding a healthy amount on a variety of forums all asking the same questions time and time again, getting the same responses from people who know what they are talking about but still you ask "Am I at risk? Please give me info" when in reality you have been given a lot of information, all of your questions have been asked and there is no reason to continue asking the same things over and over. Your problem is in your mind, it is not physical. You know this, as you have mentioned this before in your posts but for some reason you will not get help. I can't force you to get some counselling but I assure you, it is all you can do to resolve this problem, as you have absolutely no reason to be so paranoid. All of the symptoms you describe in your post, are no consistent with a HPV infection. There are seperate symptoms which are not related in the slightest. Wait until your Drs appointment, try your best to take in the information they give you, but remember you have already seen Drs who have said IT IS NOT HPV and you have not taken on board what they have said. You've no reason to stop living your life, as there are people on these forums who live with diseases without letting it ruin there lives, and they would love to be in a position like you are. I'm sad to say it is like you are wasting your life. Please, no more posting, there is no more information anyone can give you and I fear that posting is only fuelling your obsession with illness. Go to your appointment, listen to what they say and go and get some counselling.

I just want some input i swear i need to run through this again.
i am just posting on this forum to get my head straight. i had protected sex with a girl about a year and a half ago. i went down on her for like 10 second no protection for that. i french kissed her. i had no anal penetration. i tested negative for all stds. Now i am conceded it might be hpv related. i have leuplakia inside my mouth shortly after. I also have GERD, but i have been taking medication for that and it has not gone away. i went to dermatologist and she said it not hpv causing it genetics. because she said i have it on my figure as well. they're seems to be some signs of red spots as well now is i am getting nervous. i have feeling of lose theeth and the bone right above the jaw has been hurting for 4 days now. and my jaw feels stiff a bit. also i think i may have a wart on my anus i am not sure. but regardless i had no anal penetration. i don't know how it has happened. for a little while not i have had blood in my stool, itch, and sometimes blood when i whip. these symptoms are on and off they happen for a bit then go away,, also i feel like there may be some discharge or something because when i whip i think i clean everything but there seems to be more to whip after a few hours. also my stool has been 2 different shades of colours. i need to know if i am in serious threat for something or am i gonna be ok. i have been going crazy just thinking about these things. i just want to be ok. i have struggled with this for quite some time now and its taking a toll on me mentally now. i stopped living life. i need to move on and focus. i have end appoint soon i hope he can give me some answers. and i hope the anla thing is fiber related. please some one tell me something that is good news. am i at serious risk? i just want to be ok. i will have my ent appointment soon. but now i am concerned about my anal stuff. will the worries ever stop. i have had only 1 sexual partner. why did i do this.

There is simply nothing else anybody can say to take your anxiety away, even a good test result from a Dr will not take your anxiety away. It is up to you to deal with your insecurity and put this behind you. You have to be strong, realistic and logical. You have to rationalise your thoughts and see the bigger picture. I understand your upset but at the same time, it is more to do with your own anxiety rather than HPV. You say your tired of the Dr and you just want to be done with this, that is up to you. Nobody can force a peaceful mind upon you and make you stop worrying, only you can do that. Please understand that people with oral HPV rarely go on to develop cancer, you need to get that into your head. Just because you have HPV, doesn't mean your going to get cancer. That is probably the least likely thing to happen, and it usually happens when it goes undetected. There are people all over the world living with HIV and being normal and happy despite there diagnosis. There are people all over the world who do have cancer and can't do a thing about it. Count yourself lucky that you are not once of those people and you have your health. I'll say it again your exposure is not one to worry about, I can't enphasize that enough. You cannot get it from kissing and going down on someone for 5 seconds is not enough time to get the virus. It is difficult to get oral HPV, realistically you would have to have repeated exposures before you actually caught the virus but even then, again its difficult to get the virus orally.

The only reason you have stopped living your life, is because of your needless worrying. It is very sad that you have let paranoia and anxiety stop you from living your life. There are plenty of people in the world with real concerns regarding STDs, but they carry on living a very normal and happy life, you should stop worrying and be thankful you are not one of those people, people who frequent this site often. There are many people like you on this site who worry so much when in reality, if they educated themselves properly, thought logically and rationally and stopped all their negative and faulty thinking, they would realise how safe and lucky they are.

Also, you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. You had sexual relations with somebody, which is only natural and nothing to feel ashamed about. You are only human after all so stop beating yourself up because of something so ordinary and normal. Only you can help yourself, you say you have worried for 2 years, yet all of the tests have come back negative. No matter how many tests you do, you are always going to have this anxiety unless you be strong and take hold of the situation. Don't let your anxiety take hold of you, you as a human being are stronger than that and if you just allowed yourself you would be able to turn this whole situation around. You just have to be stronger than this and not let this whole situation overwhelm you like you have done. You should maybe look into counselling to combat your paranoia and insecurity. You are alive and well, and life can be very short, so please do not let this ruin your life. Start living, looking after yourself and dealing with the whole situation instead of succumbing to it.

yeah it is just i think i saw something that was something like a wart iunno. i am just scared i don't want to have cancer from this one stupid decision. i regret to this very day. i am just scared cause i have some loose teeth. i have white and red patches and it feels like something has been in my throat. I have also had cough for sometime now to. but i do i have gerd. it has been said it can cause i have been on pills for almost 2 months no change. i guess I'm just really looking for someone to say its gonna be ok. i just don't want to have this i am actually really scared. i have stopped living my life always in fear for past 2 years i thought i had aids, then herpes, then hep c, then herpes, again all negative this is something i feel is an actually danger cause i see red and white spots inside cheek. i just made one mistake first time. i hear this is incredibly rare so i really shouldn't worry. I just want to be ok. i have ENT appointment in about 2 and a half weeks. i am gonna ask him to biopsy. i think he should be able to give some answers i am just scared. i want to be ok. i hear this is rare so i am trying to tell my self i don't have it could be something else. I have my other brother i told him. he was supportive in beginning but now i feel he i just annoyed and i don't really have anyone to comfort.  he being pretty harsh. iunno i just want to be ok. and live a normal life. be a good person. i stopped living life for 2 years i just wanna get my health together so i can start feeling normal and free again. i miss my old self. why i did what i did i will never know. i was just stressed and my family life was all messed up and i had to find an outlet and i did this. i would make my family ashamed. i wanna be ok. i want my health to be in  order. so i can start living again. is topped studying, stopped going to gym, stopped looking for girlfriends, i want to be good again. i want to be able to do these things. start going to school again and start lving again. I just don't wanna have this. warts aren't dangerous but this can be. i hope its not it. i just want to be ok and not have to worry about these things anymore.

It seems like you are making the situation much bigger than it actually is. Your exposure is not a high enough risk to believe you have oral HPV. The Drs have told you that you are healthy so you should put more trust in them and try to uncover the reason why you are so paranoid. Often people come to this site for help when they have very very low exposures to HPV, and 99% of the time they do not have HPV or any other STD. The truth is the only person that can help you is yourself. Stop researching online and reading the worst-cast-scenario stuff, because that would make anybody paranoid and the worst-case-scenarios (like cancer) are usually the least possible. Trust the Drs and educate yourself on HPV enough to learn your chances of getting HPV in the way you explain is too unlikely to worry so much about

Do you use smokeless tobacco? If not, it is unlikely that you are at significant risk for oral cancer. If so, speak to your Dr. about it honestly and openly.

Even if it is a plakia, there is only a small chance that it will develop into cancer.

Don't overthink this. Most likely you're going to come out of this just fine. Worrying won't help so try not to speculate too much. And if you can't stop worrying, talk to your Dr. about that too.

Best of luck.

You cannot get HPV from kissing, and it is very difficult to get it from oral sex. It is very very very unlikely you got HPV from a 5 second exposure with oral sex.

Don't panic, you are not going to die. People who develop oral cancer through HPV, develop it over a number of years after exposure, so it's not something that appears very quickly.

It seems like you have had a lot of advise from Drs and they have not found it to be HPV related so you should follow what they say as they are very knowledgable.
