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.
Are aids and hepatitis the most prevalent in us?
The most common blood borne illness in the United States is the Hepatitis C virus. About 3.2 million people are chronically infected.
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.
Is hpv vaccine recommended for women who already contracted hpv?
YES, it is highly recommended that all women get vaccinated against HPV. Even if you have already contracted one strain of HPV there are still other types that could affect your health. Getting vaccinated will not make the current strain go away faster or prevent you from getting that type again, but it is still recommended.
Do you need to go for cervical smears if you have had the HPV vaccine?
Yes, you do. The HPV vaccine is excellent and covers many strains of the HPV virus, and the strains included in the shot are the ones most likely to cause cervical cancer. It is very, very effective. But you need PAP smears still because: 1. Not all strains of HPV are in the vaccine, so even though it would be rare you could still get a form of HPV and go on to develop cervical cancer. 2. Not all cervical cancers are caused by HPV (though many are).
What is another word for still going on?
Prevalent is a good word.
Do you have to have hpv to have genital warts?
HPV has over 30 different types. Only a few of the types cause warts. Unless your healthcare provider tells you that you have genital warts, you do not.
If you and your partner both have hpv should you still use a condom?
Yes. Absolutely still use a condom. There are several different strains of HPV. Some cause nasty symptoms, some do almost nothing, and some can lead to cervical cancer.
Can you get gardasil vaccine while you have hpv?
Sure you can. There are numerous strains of HPV. The Gardasil will help with 4 of them. Even if you know that you're currently infected with one of the 4 strains in the Gardasil vaccine, it can still help you with the other 3.
What can happen to a person with HPV?
HPV is now one of the most prevalent viruses affecting female genital health. Untreated HPV can cause cervical and uterine cancer, make a female sterile, and create stress and emotional upheaval in a woman's life because of the stress and fear associated with cancer. Many women can receive adequate treatment before HPV causes severe damage. But the only way to know if HPV is present is through regular gynecological exams. If a woman is diagnosed, she shouldn't ignore it because the virus will progress and cause health problems. Parents of girls debate about the new vaccine to protect girls against HPV. But it is the only defense against this rampant and widespread disease.
