How do you get high-risk HPV?
They either drop your blood and/or have a swab in your pee hole then send it to lab
If you test hpv negative but have abnormal cells could you still have hpv?
The HPV test that may be done as a followup to an abnormal pap looks for high-risk (cancer causing) HPV. If the test is negative, you don't have high-risk HPV on the cervix, but you may be infected with low risk HPV subtypes, or infected in another location.
You are unable to have a pap smear what else can be done to detect cervical cancer?
You can do HPV genotyping to know high risk and low risk type of HPV.
What does ASCUS negative for high risk HPV mean?
A pap smear result of ASCUS negative high risk HPV means that the cells on your cervix couldn't be called normal, but didn't have changes that suggested precancerous lesions either. A follow up test for high risk HPV types on the cervix was done. The test did not find these high risk (cancer causing) types of HPV. Based on this combination of test results, along with your age and history, your health care provider will recommend follow up testing.
Can you get rid of high-risk HPV?
Yes, your body will typically clear high-risk HPV on its own. There is no treatment to make the infection go away faster. There are treatments for any cellular abnormalities caused by high-risk HPV.
Can cervical cancer cause HPV in males?
Most cervical cancer is caused by damage due to HPV. If the woman is still shedding HPV on the cervix, a man could get that strain of high-risk HPV.
What is HPV High RISK when ASC-US?
A pap result of ASCUS with high-risk HPV detected means that the abnormalities detected on the screen are more likely to be a real cause for concern. In contrast, ASCUS with negative high-risk HPV means that any abnormalities are not likely to be cervical dysplasia. Contact your health care provider for further diagnostic recommendations that will be based on your age and health history.
If you have hpv high risk DNA will a total abdominal hysterectomy bilateral salpingo oophorectomy prevent you from getting cervical cancer?
You can't get cervical cancer after your cervix is removed, but you can have residual cancer or HPV infection in the vagina. But it is not necessary or desirable to have a hysterectomy due to high-risk HPV. Simple monitorning is sufficient for most people. If treatment is needed for high-risk HPV, it's because the Pap smear or biopsy was abnormal. It takes many years for HPV infection to cause cervical cancer, and most people will control the virus without ever getting cancer.
What does it mean when the result pap smear detected hpv?
A negative pap smear positive for high-risk HPV means that there were no abnormal cells (damage) noted, but the HPV result means that repeat testing or additional testing may be needed. The recommendations depend on your age and history.
Is it bad to have HPV for 6 months?
That depends on the strain (high risk or low risk) and the state of your immune system. A weak immune system and a high risk strain could lead to cervical cancer.
How does infection increase with HPV increase cervical cancer?
Certain types of HPV are considered "high-risk" HPV subtypes. These can cause cancerous changes in the cervix, anal and rectal tissue, and throat, as well as the vagina and penis.
You were diagnosed with high-risk hpv last year your pap smear this year shows that you have ASCUS and that you still have high-risk hpv What does this mean?
ASCUS means you have abnormal cells on the cervix during your pap smear. The cells coudn't be called normal, but couldn't be called precancerous either. In addition, you have high-risk HPV found on your smear two years in a row. These high risk subtypes are more likely to cause cancer. Based on these results, your health care provider will recommend follow up testing specific to your age and history.
