HPV question?

Question

on what I been readin, there isnt a actual cure for this. but it says the virus goes away. well does that mean you will always have this or what?

Answer 1

There is no "cure" for HPV, but it's most women can get rid of the virus on their own. Their bodies are basically able to "fight off" the virus.

When most people think of a cure they think of medication and/or treatments to get rid of it. Since there are no medications or treatments to get rid of HPV there technically is no "cure".

Some people can never get rid of HPV though. Since there is no "cure", some people can have the virus their entire life and are unable to get rid of it.

Answer 2

HPV is Human Papilloma Virus. Because it's a virus, there is no cure. Some viruses, like the flu virus, can be fought off by the body if given enough time. HPV is not fought off by the body and will always be there unless a cure is found.

Many people infected with HPV are symptom free for many years. The virus is still in their body but is not active so-to-speak.

Answer 3

From what I've read your body can clear the virus between 6months - 2 years after the HPV virus is detected. Whether you have warts or changes in the cervix after being treated your body learns to adapt the virus and therefore lies dormant in your system. I've read books, websites and documentries and now all I can do is do what is best for me...
I eat healthy, excercise, don't smoke, sleep well and do everything I can to keep my immune system up. =) Now a days there are things in the food that builds up immunity. I'm also taking herbal medicine for my immune system.
If you google up anti-bodies or go to iherb.com there are several ways to build your immune system. I believe "every " BODY is different. Everybody reacts different to HPV. You can't go by other peoples answers...just by your own experience. Nobody knows REALLY what this virus is about because of the history. You can't test men...you can only prevent and help out current /active leisunes. It's hard to detect....that's why it's so common.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Not only did I contract the virus and not even know it, I have worked with the disease for 2 years now in the laboratory. It is a disease that can cause cervical cancer in women. There are two types, low risk and high risk. High risk means you have a very good chance if it developing into cervical cancer. Men also have it and pass it around. It is a disease that lies dormant in your body until something triggers it. I got it in 92' and it didn't start showing signs of positive pap smears until 2000. I then had to have colposcopies and biopsies on my cervix for it. I also have not been able to conceive and have tried for 8 years now, I am 34 years old. It is highly common these days, most women do not know they have it. There is also a vaccination now for girls to get at a young age. Pap tests are extremely important, can't stress that enough.

Answer 5

No. The person above me is incorrect. There is no cure for the virus but the body can and probably will if you are healthy within 2 years. By healthy, I mean you don't have a disease that supresses your immune system. Not smoking or drinking, eating healthy foods, and keeping levels of stress low will all help your immune system to fight the disease.
