My friend has hpv will she be ok?

Question

is Hpv curable

Answer 1

Yes. I have it too. It's not that big of a deal. I freaked at first but now that I know more about it I know that I'll be fine.

Answer 2

HPV is ridiculously common- by the age of 50, over 80% of women will have had it at some point. Roughly 50% of people aged 20-24 have it, so bear in mind at least half of us post answers about it probably have it but don't know.

HPV is not just genital warts (although that's what everyone thinks about). There are over 30 types of HPV that can infect the genital tract. Some are harmless, some cause warts and some can cause cell changes that can years later lead to cervical cancer. The best thing to do if you have HPV (and in fact for all women, because most people don't know they have it), is to go for regular smear tests so any cell changes can be identified and monitored (and treated if needs be).

HPV is often called "the common cold of STIs". Most of the time the immune system deals with it and the individual never has problems again, or only has problems later if their immune system becomes suppressed. Emphasis to your friend just how common it is, she shouldn't feel worried or embarrassed because probably at least half of her friends have some form of it too.

Answer 3

There is no known cure for HPV. However, eventually the immune system does repress it by reducing it to a low level. At the point of natural suppression, it would be unlikely for a person to transmit the virus. Researchers don't know whether it is actually ever fully eliminated from the body, but at any rate it quits being contagious after a while. The time it takes to get to this point varies from person to person, according to their immune system. The longer you have gone without having symptoms, the more likely it is that your body is reducing the viral levels. HPV does not tend to be persistent in most cases, and most people who have contracted it are not thought to be permanently contagious.

Answer 4

Yes, your friend will be okay. She will lead a normal, happy life. HPV isn't curable persay, but most immune systems are able to fight the disease off entirely. Your friend will be fine.

Answer 5

No it is not curable and as a matter of fact it increases a woman's likelihood of cervical cancer three times. And it can cause warts that can be spread to a man and would have to be frozen off or surgically removed and are sometimes invisible because they are on the cervix.
There is a vaccine, however.

Answer 6

There is no known cure for HPV. However, eventually the immune system does repress it by reducing it to a low level. And there are lots of treatments for it, although not one treatment is right for everyone.

Answer 7

no its not curable but unless its the type that causes cervical cancer she should be fine. sometimes when someone gets hpv they get the type that may cause warts which can be removed.
