Third,  penile rubbing with brush came back negative for both low risk and high-risk HPV.

Fourth, my doctor said no need for anal HPV test because I am a straight guy. Also, I never had anal penetration. I said I had a woman licking my ass. She said HPV generally does not transmit through rimjob.  

Also, note that two sex partners that I had in my life are not young women.  One is the 40s and another one is mid-30s. The reason I am saying is I read that HPV is very active among young woman as women get older they were already infected and virus goes dormant. On top of it, I had protected sex.   Planned Parenthood published a study that states REPEATED protected sex end up in 30% of transmission. Mine is not repeated.  I did the math; odds are in my favor. So I decided to take a penile test. Glad it turned out to be negative.

Finally, I am going to say monogamous until I die because it is not worth cheating on my fiance.  My fiance is also a virgin. She trusts me with her sexual health, and I not going to betray her. I also had my fiance to take the vaccine. 

I don't see any new questions here, so I don't have anything much to say. I'm glad you are feeling better and seem to have accepted the realities about HPV, including its usual inconsequential outcomes. My only advice is that you beware of blanket lifestyle pledges, like "I am going to say monogamous until I die". Most people are not successful in such things, whether it comes to sex, diet, exercise, or other healthy lifestyles. If you desire a permanent monogamous lifestyle, of course you should pursue that goal. But stay aware of the realities of life and the temptations that come everyone's way from time to time. In any case, HPV itself is definitely not an important justification for lifelong monogamy!

I'm glad the discussions have been helpful. Best wishes to you.

Some current HPV infections and most past HPV infections don't show up on any available tests. If you have had sex at all, you could still have HPV, despite multiple negative tests. However, as Dr. Hook said, in view of your sexual history, it is unlikely you were infected; and in any case, now that you have been immunized, you are at even lower risk. Never having sex markedly reduces the chance of having HPV, but there are apparent exceptions, perhaps from nonsexual acquisition of the virus. This one of the reasons all persons should be immunized against HPV, regardless of apparent risk for infection. That includes your fiancee.

In other words, the chance you have HPV or will catch it in the future are extremely low, but nobody can guarantee zero chance or zero risk. It's just part of life, however -- nothing to be worried about.

Thanks for the thanks. I'm glad the discussions have been helpful.
