... much of it and I've had it for as long as I remember. Recently I've become aware of HPV and I began to distinguish that I had genital warts. I haven't told anyone and I've left it untreated for years and I've been getting sores in my throat. I don't know how I exactly got the disease and since I've heard that throat cancer is connected to HPV, I've been scared to death. What should I do about this situation?
