The important issue not mentioned in this thread is viral loads. You can end up with an increased viral load from your partnr which could result in your immune system being overwhelmed and thus the virus becomes active. This is the other part of using condosm that rarely gets mentioned.
The male "pap" as it is referred to is an HPV test for men and while it is hard to find a doctor to perform one (truly unfortunate in this day and age) there are doctors who will perform an anal pap which is also important for women who have had cervical involvement as there is a 37% increased risk of anal dysplasia/cancer is you have had CIN previously. Most doctors never inform their patients of this nor do they perform an anal pap. That area should alwasy be examined during colposcopy along with the vulva and vagina. Unfortunately the Gardasil commercials did a lot of harm in leading people to believe HPV only affected the cervix which it doesn't and is now known to cause oral cancers as well, prdominantly in men. The two existing oral tests are not very reliable. Aside from the mouth HPV has been found in the urine, seminal fluid, moisture droplets from women's underwear and even in breast milk.
