Hey there @hgiah, thank you so much for sharing this with us. It takes real strength and bravery to open up about this and share your concerns about the HPV virus and whether you contracted it when you were younger. It makes sense you're feeling paranoid about that, that's a normal experience.
I'm curious as to what your current understanding of the HPV virus is? (No pressure to share anything you don't feel comfortable sharing, we're here to follow your lead in what you feel comfortable sharing)
