A woman with Cervical cancer has a virus called HPV. This virus is transmitted sexually, so the woman can transmit the HPV infection to her partner. However it is not yet understood if men have the same cancer risk as women due to an HPV infection. The cancer itself cannot be given to the male.
A male can carry the HPV virus which can be transmitted through sexual contact to a female partner.
HPV is a very common virus that most Americans at one time in their life are infected by. Most HPV infections cause little to no harm to the cervix.
Certain strains, such as HPV type 16 and 18 are known to be more aggressive and should be followed more closely. It is these types that can progress to cause cervical lesions.
This is why it is important to not only undergo routine PAP tests, but also be HPV tested.
No. Cancer is not and never will be in any form contagious.
There are some STDs that are precancerous, but cancer is not transmitted from one person to another.
You have nothing to worry about, since the cancer is something that is not contagious in any way. If it was a STD then YES, but not cancer.
Yes.
No
No
Tanning beds are mostly associated with skin cancer. More specifically melenoma. Cervical cancer is almost exclusively caused by an HPV viral infection.
Because cancer isn't contagious.
Probably gave you the cervical cancer vaccine.
It is a screening test of a woman's uterus to look for pre-cancerous and cancerous cells. If you have them done regularly, any changes can be looked out for and checked out. During a pap smear, a tool is used to take cells from the outer opening of the cervix, the uterus and endocervix. The cells are examined under a microscope to look for abnormalities. I have enclosed a link in the related links which will give you some more information
Yes, a man can give a woman HPV and a woman can give a man HPV. To reduce the spread of HPV, males AND females can go to a clinic or their primary doctor and get the HPV vaccine in 3 different doses at 3 different times. If someone ALREADY has HPV, the HPV vaccine should still be taken because there are over 100 strains of HPV, and you may not have one of the strains that the vaccine prevents.
The physician who gave you the first shot should have a record of the vaccination. They should also be able to give you a new card.
The cervical cancer vaccine has been reecommended for use between 9-25 years of age. One's immunity is at its best in the young. There is no contraindication to its use in a 45 year old but the efficacy of this vaccine has not been tested in this age and is likely to be less because of lower immunity.
All I can say is " With God All Things Are Possible"... I used a condom had cervical cancer was told i couldn't have children then told i miscarried and now am about to give birth to a beautiful baby girl. Hope this Helps:)
I really hope so. Every woman who is sexually active or who has ever engaged in any sexual act involving the vagina needs to have an annual pelvic exam. You need to check for cervical cancer. It is the single most preventable cancer. If you do not receive one they are doing you a disservice. Relax its not that bad doctors don't get squeemish.
You won't give your partner BV.
give them oral sex or pleasure them with your mouth
