does anyone know or have HPV??????

Question

Any one know much abou this?????????????

Answer 1

High Risk HPV - the most common form of HPV. DOES NOT cause genital warts. It means that your pap detected abnormal cells in your vagina (cervix). This is not the end of the world...something like 80% of women have this type of HPV. It will go away on its own, but if you dont take frequent pap tests (every 6 months) it could develop into cancer. Sometimes with high risk HPV, the abnormal cells are clustered together and a doctor can actually remove them using a number of procedures. I only had a few and after 3 paps, my test came back normal.

Low-risk HPV - This is the type of HPV that CAUSES genital warts. This is less common and again, the doctors have a number of ways to remove warts and again, it will go away on its own.

Once you have had HPV, you will always have it in your system, but most likely you will not experience another problem.

Dont worry or feel bad like you have a horrible STD...remember, almost everywoman will experience some form of HPV in her life...it is just that common. Just concern yourself with preventing cervical cancer by taking frequent paps and you should recieve a normal one within 2 years most likely.

I hope this answers your question...I sure did my studying and asking after my first abnormal pap.

AND GOOD LORD PEOPLE>>>HIGH RISK DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HOW MANY SEXUAL PARTNERS YOU HAVE HAD< YOU COULD HAVE HAD 1 PARTNER AND STILL HAVE HIGH RISK HPV.

Some people do suffer from Hypersensitivity from photons, and their vision get extra ordinarily blurred.

See a doctor, it is controllable with glasses and eye drops.

I think line or plane polarised lens can do wonders, do not need to ware glasses but used it as safety glasses.

Human Papillomavirus, or HPV for short, is the virus that causes warts. And by this, I mean any kind of wart – from the wart on your nose to the plantar's wart on the bottom of your foot. There are many, many different kinds of HPV – some websites say around 70 and some say up to 100 – and around 30 of them cause genital HPV.



HPV is not to be confused with HSV (the virus that causes Herpes) or HIV (the virus that causes AIDS)!


Genital HPV is not necessarily "genital warts." There are more than 30 strains that infect the genital area, and they are divided into 2 subcategories: Low-risk and high-risk HPV.


Low-risk HPV is called low-risk because it does not lead to cancer. In fact, these types of HPV have only very rarely been found in cancer. Instead, low-risk HPV causes genital warts. It can also cause abnormal pap smears, but abnormalities caused by this type of HPV do not become malignant (see Merck’s About HPV: facts you need to know).

High-risk HPV, so named because it can lead to cancer if untreated, only rarely produces warts. Instead, it produces abnormal, or pre-cancerous, cells, most commonly on the cervix but also in other places, such as the vagina, vulva, anus, and rarely on the penis (see the American Social Health Association). High-risk HPV has also been found in some head and neck cancers (see this news article by the Oral Cancer Foundation and this article by the Medical Journal of Australia). High-risk HPV can come in different severities, for example: a woman might have an abnormal pap smear with low, mid, or high-grade high-risk HPV.

The American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology also lists a good explanation of low- and high-risk HPV types here. Another good source of information is the American Social Health Association’s page on HPV Myths and Misconceptions, found here. Read the question entitled, “Myth: Genital warts lead to cervical cancer.”

For a very detailed and scientific explanation, which goes into individual HPV strains and their breakdown in both genital warts and cervical dysplasia, visit the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals’ HPV FAQ.

The only reason that a doctor will give you a pap smear every year is to see if your cervix is undergoing cellular changes due to HPV. If you get regular paps, you won't be significantly at risk for cancer, because the doctor will treat any abnormal cells before they can progress. According to Merck, “Most often, the change from precancerous cells to cervical cancer can take a number of years, although in rare cases it can happen within a year. That's why early detection is so important” (About HPV: facts you need to know par. 4).



Having genital warts does automatically mean you have HPV; however, having an abnormal pap smear does not. Warts are caused by a strain of HPV 100% of the time. Sometimes, however, a pap smear may, in some cases, be abnormal due to something other than HPV (please see the links on my abnormal pap page for more info).

Having genital warts does not mean you will get cervical dysplasia, as having cervical dysplasia does not mean you will get genital warts. HPV strains do not mutate from one into the other. Since low-risk HPV can cause abnormal pap smears, though, a person could have both warts and an abnormal pap and just have low-risk HPV (see Merck). According to the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals, a small percentage of CIN1 (or low-grade cellular changes of the cervix) is caused exclusively by low-risk HPV, and a larger percentage is caused by a mix of low- and high-risk HPV (HPV types Natural History and Epidemiology par. 4). Conversely, it is possible for genital warts to contain high-risk HPV. Some high-risk HPV types cause condyloma planum, or flat warts; however, these do not look like the raised genital warts caused by low-risk HPV strains (Medical FAQs on the Natural History of HPV par. 5; HPV types Natural History and Epidemiology par. 2). The FDA advises 90% of all genital warts are caused by strains 6 and 11, which are low-risk types, so if you have genital warts, chances are they’re low-risk HPV (HPV par. 5).


You get HPV from having sex with an infected partner. Some people use condoms and still get the virus, so condoms are not entirely reliable when it comes to HPV. HPV is really, really common - because most people never show symptoms, no one knows they have it. According to the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology, at any given time only about 1-2% of the population has genital warts, and 3-5% of women have pap smears with cell changes due to HPV, while the risk of being infected with HPV over one’s lifetime seems to be between 75 and 90% (Medical FAQs on the Natural History of HPV par. 3).
