Diagnosed With Tonsil Cancer, Hpv16 Positive. Risks Of Passing Infection During Intercourse ?
Hi. My husband of 28 years has been diagnosed with tonsil cancer , hpv16 positive. While I am sure that I must be hpv positive as well, I m unclear as to whether I am more at risk for infection...passing infection during sexual interaction while he is in the middle of this cancer trouble. In other words, is it ok for us to continue to be sexually active now?
