abnormal results can always recur. if
you got a normal pap, that means your
body has fought off the virus and it
is in lower numbers and lying
dormant. however, this doesnt protect
you from other strains, and their are
over 30 known strains transmitted
sexually. plus, if you immune system
gets weakened for some reason, the
virus can become active again and
cause abnormal results.

The above poster is correct! hpv is
just lying dormant

Human immune system cannot clear this

are you a doctor? who says even the
medical world does not know what
happens to hpv and its cycle dumbass

human immune system can not "clear"
any type of virus, do your own
research on viruses and see for
yourself. it is well established in
the med. community that there are no
cures for ANY kind of viruses and your
body never gets rid of the virus, it
simply suppresses it.

In about 70% of the cases HPV goes
away on its own due to an immune
response. It is only people with
questionable partners and cheating
husbands that ever keep having
problems with hpv.

virus can be cleared, because the
level of detect from Digene hybrid
capture test may mean either it is so
low that it is undectable or that it
actually clear, the tests need to
become better. you also have to
realize were this virus lives --- the
epidermas only a few skin clayers
thick whatever layer of skin that it
is burn off will no longer contain
hpv...

it is not like other viruses that
float around in your blood stream,
otherwise the immune response would be
much better, so the blanketed
statement that no virus can be cleared
is pretty rediculus -- more often it
is suppressed but who knows maybe all
of the infected cells expressed the
anitgen on the surface and were
consumed by the marcophages why is
that so impossible

the virus is not only carried in the
skin, it CAN be transmitted thru
bodily fluids. man they first started
detecting hpv in semen in 1986, get
with the times. the kind carried in
the semen just doesnt affect guys, but
if a guy doesnt wear a condom and
bathes a womans cervix in his semen,
she has an increased risk of cervical
problems.

HPV is a tricky virus...its has been
shown to get to the cervix in lesbian
couples as well which as you can
imagine is pretty logistically
inconsistent. Bottom line is that
most people in this world will have
HPV at some point, and the most common
infections are the high risk types.
Most people never get a complication
from it at all. Keep up your paps,
treat it when it pops up, but live
life as normal without worries.

chart of "natural history of hpv
infection" is useful when thinking of
how long and what happens

HPV is not a tricky virus..it is
sexually transmitted. As far as
finding hpv in lesbian couples? about
70% of lesbians have had sexual
intercourse with a man. HPV just does
not pop up out of nowhere

That's a pretty asinine statement post
(above). Would you like to explain
how certain websites have documented
genital HPV infections is virgins with
no sexual experience? There are no
absolutes with HPV...well except that
if you're going to have more than one
sexual partner in your life that the
odds of aquiring it are pretty good.

yeah, i can explain it. a mother can
pass hpv to child at birth. also, i
knew a woman who died of vulvar cancer
caused by hpv that she caught from a
newborn at the hospital she worked at.
it can be transmitted thru touch as
well and just b/c they havent had
intercourse doesnt mean they havent had
genital contact.

tony
I'm a nurse and work at the health
department hpv can be eliminated via
immunity

well even if you develop immunity the
virus isnt gone b/c it requires an
active virus to develop immunity, nice
try though. and how do you know that
b/c you are immune to the effects that
you cant still be a carrier and pass it
to others?

I am a virgin and I got hpv!!!! Any
sexual contact like rubbing can
transmit hpv!!! My aunt is a nurse at
Jackson Memorial Hospital and deals
with this cases every day and yes your
immune system can clear out this
virus. There is hope!!!!
