to the poster above you are a fucking moron. Yes tree oil helps kill and get you on the road to clearance. GW does not cause cancer you dump fuck

from everything I've read - hpv is linked to cervical cancer - but if caught early enough your chances are better - that wasn't the question anyway.

The strains that cause 90% of Genital Warts are virtually never found in cervical cancer.

listen people, gw and hpv are linked to cervical, penile, anal, rectal, vulvar, vaginal, and oropharynx cancers NOT just cervical, its just the most common on the cervix.

According to the ARHP (www.arhp.org): "Low-risk HPV types (6, 11, 42, 43, 44) are virtually never found in cancers." Planned Parenthood says: "In more than 90 percent of cases, they [GW] are caused by types 6 and 11" Therefore if you have GW the odds are over 90% that you don't have anything to worry about.

"Cervical cancer can be prevented if a female gets a Pap smear at regular intervals. This way, if abnormal cell changes are found, it can be monitored and / or treated before" from http://www.ashastd.org/stdfaqs/hpv.html

the problem is someone will see visible warts and think, oh i have a low risk so i have nothing to worry about. BUT, you could have contracted a low and a high risk at the same time, most ppl have more than one strain, so even if you have visible warts, you need to monitor your health. oh yeah, and visible warts CAN also be caused by hpv 16 and 18 which are both linked to ALL of the cancers i listed above. just be careful and go to a dr if you have warts.

from person above the last one. Yes, go to the doc. monitor your health, but blanket statements don't help anyone. The ? wasn't about cancer - it was about treatment and reoccurrence. How to help your body and your disease. I understand you want to tell people this, how about post a personal experience that says "HPV and Cancer" and list all the fact you know and where you got them.

To the first comment, another blanket statement, "It can be useful to help patients understand that it is counterproductive to attempt to assess blame for their current situation. Rather, attempt to empower patients with a sense of hope by exploring behavior modification that can potentially improve their immune status. This could include eating healthy, limiting alcohol consumption, getting enough rest, exercising, and, most importantly, smoking cessation." From www.arhp.org

you forgot to mention one other behavior modification, they should also re-examine their sex life and how they go about it. this includes trying to limit the number of partners one has, always using protection to help yourself and the other person, and always getting tested (both partners) b-4 a new sexual encounter. this can lower your likelyhood of catching something else.

i almost forgot to mention, it also includes informing all future partners of your std. and since there is such a debate about whether hpv is a life long disease or not (it has been proven both ways, some ppl will clear, some never clear and can always pass it) it is important to inform. there have been cases where ppl sued over getting an std from someone, esp. a lifelong disease and they win.

I disagree with the above statement. It has not been shown that people who don't clear it can always pass it on. It just means that they are susceptible for it to return in the future when their immune system is compromised. I would like to see a successful lawsuit for HPV considering you can't prove when it was acquired considering that 95% of those infected will never know.

same as above
And that many reputable sites put the lifetime liklihood of infection with HPV in the 75% to 90% range.
|

12/12/2004 10:46:05 AM

Can you direct me to where you found that statistic? I have not been to a site that gives statistics on this except arhp, which says 10-20% of patients either remain in active disease expression, or "recur" after a lesion-free interval. Although it is unknown if anyone actually clears the virus, ppl can go into "sustained clinical remission." It is unclear if latent HPV should is contagious.

Sure, there are plenty of links at http://www.hpvforum.com. The CDC pretty much assimilates all of the various studies in its reporting, the 2004 CDC report to congress is a great read on HPV. I would start there.

there actually was a successful lawsuit with a woman and her cheating husband who gave her hpv and she did win thank you very much! and if they have a break out, what makes you think they cant pass it to others? if they still have the virus and they get a breakout, they can pass to others and since you can have a breakout and not know about it (i.e. high risk strains) thats why i say you should inform.

repeat comment
just because it says your lifetime likeihood of getting hpv is 75 to 90% that doesn't mean the likeihood of having lifetime hpv is 75 to 90%

sorry for the spelling error.

Exactly, becuase over 92% clear it in 2 years. If everyone that got HPV had it for life, then who would care? That means we are mostly (75% to 90% of us anyway) forever infected and always potentially contagious.
|
|
12/13/2004 1:43:52 PM

I think the thing here is around 90% of the people never have further breakouts - and "clear" the virus. Like you clear chicken pox, warts on your hands, and the flu.
|

12/13/2004 6:40:58 PM

I read that lawsuit your talking about and it involves more than just HPV...
|
|
12/13/2004 11:08:00 PM
-
the thing is, not having further breakouts doesnt mean you have cleared the virus. for instance, no one clears chicken pox. the virus remains in your body for life though most never have another problem with it and it cant be detected by conventional means. but then, you get a lowered immune system and it springs back up and causes shingles. most ppl that get shingles get it 30-40 yrs after having chicken pox. that means the virus was at such low levels...
|

12/13/2004 11:10:08 PM

same as above
that they couldnt detect it for all those years and then *BOOM* here it is again to rear its ugly little head. if they know that the virus is never cleared and it causes shingles, but they cant detect the virus b-4 a shingles outbreak, what makes you think that you are cleared of hpv b/c they cant detect it?
|

Exactly, it is possible that it can happen but it that is only the case for a small segment of the population and it is not contagious in between. Sure its possible that your HPV might come back, but why sit around and dwell on it, especially when 70% to 90% of those around you are in the same boat.

Kangoo
Tea Tree Oil may help you to prevent warts , there are many people saying that they had good experience treating warts with TTO. It may kill the virus, at least at skin level. Hope it helps, K.

i wonder if tea tree oil works because it dries out the skin a lot... reading about hpv they talk about warm moist places which is odd because i know that is ideal for bacteria but viruses i thot were more diverse in their "preferred" environs.
|

12/21/2004 6:17:07 AM

it is possible, viruses are more resiliant than bacteria and not all viruses prefer a moist environment, its just hpv can thrive better there. but getting rid of warts doesnt mean the virus is gone, just the symptom of the virus. hope this helps.
