do men give hpv to women or women to men? or it doesnt matter?

Answer 1

It can be passed either way. Most men pass it to women because most of them don't realize they have the virus. There is currently no test for men to detect HPV. Usually men find out they have the virus by developing genital warts, but this can take months and even years. Women ususally find out they have the virus by having an abnormal pap smear.

Answer 2

Human Pappaloma Virus is a sexually transmitted disease that is spread from one infected partner to another. The virus may never show any symptoms, but some do display the warts, internally and externally.
It is extremely urgent that females with this virus have frequent pap smears, as HPV is the cause of all cervical cancer.
Fortunately, there is a vaccination for young teens that will prevent this in our future.

Answer 3

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the world. More than 100 different types of HPV exist, most of which are harmless. About 30 types are spread through sexual contact. Some types of HPV cause genital warts—single or multiple bumps that appear in the genital areas of men and women including the vagina, cervix, vulva (area outside of the vagina), penis, and rectum. Many people infected with HPV have no symptoms.

There are high-risk and low-risk types of HPV. High-risk HPV may cause abnormal Pap smear results, and could lead to cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, anus, or penis. Low-risk HPV also may cause abnormal Pap results or genital warts.

Health experts estimate there are more cases of genital HPV infection than any other STI in the United States. According to the American Social Health Association, approximately 5.5 million new cases of sexually transmitted HPV infections are reported every year. At least 20 million people in this country are already infected.

it's not dominant in either sex, but it is unnoticable in many cases so you dont even know who really has it!


SCARY HUH?

Answer 4

HPV is a virus that is transfered from skin to skin contact, male or female. It doesn't have to be sexual - in theory, it can be a handshake.
Condoms do not protect against HPV, but do lessen the risk of contracting it from someone that is infected.
Most people have developed antibodies to certain strains of the virus, and there is a new vaccine (Guardasil®) that protects against 2 strains of HPV that lead to cervical cancers

it's an std which means that anyone being it female/male, hetero/homo can transmit the disease. You can also transmit diseases to animals and vs....hence were the syphilis came from....it was strictly a sheep disease....the Greeks introduced that one into the human race.
