Hi Dr.

I apologize for the repetitive question on this and this will be the last time I bring it up. I meant to ask this in my reply but was so thankful for your response I forgot to bring it up. You said "virtually no risk" - is this the same risk as others who have posed this same question in the past ? Ie. There is no way of 100% saying no risk in the case that theoretically it COULD happen ?

Does the fact that I was on an immunosuppressive medication affect my risk exposure ? It was a handjob that was about 3 minutes or so. This was about a year or so after I had finished my hpv vaccine.

Like I said, sorry repeating questions.

You were told there was no need to return to the Forum yet here you are with a self-acknowledged repetitive question that you provide the answer to. My answer and assessment is NOT going to change, As I said in the thread closed yesterday "Your unwarranted anxiety is excessive and unwarranted. You need to move on. Life is full of minor risks. Your risk of being hit by a car or by lightening is higher than your risk of having acquired or reactivated HPV and transmitted it to your partner. I really have nothing more to say other than to urge you to continue your Cosyntyx." In science we can never say never as new observations are made on a daily basis.

Please address your OCD/anxiety on this topic with a professional counselor.

This is the only reply you are going to receive and future questions will be closed with no response. EWH
