@lizralpol I have always felt that being open and sharing information about my health with friends and family is the best way to go. People who want to offer advice and help are able to do so and you find your new support system. Are you hesitant about the HPV status? Then just share that you have an oral lesion suggestive of cancer. There are other causes of oral lesions like smoking, alcohol, radiation and more. If/when you are undergoing diagnostic procedures or treatment, I believe you will find coworkers who are very supportive and understanding, whether they have the entire picture or not. You get to decide how much to share.
