Nurse Annie! Can HPV cause cervical cancer or other serious complications if passed on to a female.?

YES IT CAN!  I have HPV and due to the HPV I have already had to have precancerous cells removed.  I suggest going to webmd and giving it a good read.  I learned a lot about HPV.  There are certain strands of it (yes there are MANY different kinds) that are known for causing cervical and uterine cancer.

As I recall, when I was in college, one of my professor did bring up this subject.  If you have anal sex with a woman AND then vaginal sex, it may sometimes cause vaginitis, or inflammation of the vagina.  Never was there any mention of "rectal cancer".\n\nHope that helps.

yes, you sure can.  but you will have to monitor your genitals for the rest of your life.  otherwise than that you are fine.  just make sure to use protection and when you do get married let the person know ahead of time to reduce any complications in the future.  dont worry.  you wont die.  though i must tell you, there is a higher rate of cancer amongst people with hpv, however, just like i said, if you read up on the symptoms to look for in case of outbreaks then you will live a healthy normal life.

Not at all-  any type of cancer is not transmittable from one person to another.  Now, if you have some type of infection it is possible to infect your partner, but that is it.

Yes all strains of genital HPV are contagious in the absence of an outbreak. No, condoms are not effective unless you find one that covers you from your neck to your toes. Most people with a low risk HPV strain will never exhibit any lesions or warts. The high risk strains are the ones most likely to cause cervical cancer in women and are virtualy undetectable on men, but can be spread by men. They are detectable on women who get regular pap smears, and many strains can be overcome by your immune system with time.

It is definitely possible that he gave it to you. Also, you don't have an outbreak of HPV, you have outbreaks of the herpes virus. You can get genital warts from HPV but it is not considered an outbreak. People can have HPV for years and never show any signs or symptoms. I have had HPV for about 5 years now. After a year of having it I developed cervical cancer and about 6 months ago I got genital warts. So it can take months, if not years to develop any symptoms. HPV is a virus, it will stay with you the rest of your life. The only thing you can do is treat the symptoms, but you will always have the virus.\n\nMen usually show no symptoms of having the STD and spread it very easily to women. There is no test currently for men to detect the virus, usually men find out they have it is by developing genital warts, hand or feet warts. So for him to try and sue you for it is not going to work. There is no way for him to prove you gave it to him or a women from a previous relationship he was in.

As with any longterm viral STD like Herpies you always run a chance at infection even when no symptoms are apparent.  While the main mechanism of HPV is unclear, what is true about HPV in general is that it is a virus that spreads by skin to skin contact (just like any kind of wart).  So in theory if you don't see any warts on the external genitalia there is no wart that can contact your skin to transmit the disease.  Know that these warts are not only on the vagina but in the vagina as well so just because you can't see it on the inside doesn't mean you can have sex without a condom.  \nIf the wart if on the outside of the vagina, on the perianal region or on the outskirts of the Labia Majora (outer labia or area of vagina) you may have skin to skin contact despite having a condom on. Remember this is skin to skin contact.  \nSome variants of HPV only present on women some only on the cervix (types 16,18,33) these are associated with cervical cancer.  \nIf you are a woman with HPV you need routine pap smears.  \nGood News for women is that there is a vaccine soon on the market that will eliminate cervical Cancer from HPV. See link below for details.\nMy opinion is, iIf your partner has an outbreak he or she should have it treated.  If it is in remission, you can precede but at your own risk and with extreme caution.  Remember that the alternatives to intercourse aren't that bad if they can get the job done.\nI suggest consulting with your physician for accurate medical information.

Do you mean HPV - Human Papilloma Virus?  If so, you can get it from skin-to-skin contact and a condom won't always protect you from it.  Some strains won't give you genital warts, but can show up on your cervix.  HPV can lie dormant in you for years.  That's why it's so important to get your yearly Pap test.  (HPV strains can cause cervical cancer.)  There is now an HPV test available for women over 30. Talk to your doctor if you are concerned.

Supposedly, the virus is only contractable during outbreaks, but the outbreaks aren't always very obvious.  If your partner has HPV, use protection ALL THE TIME! Just as a precaution...

You need to see a doctor.  Genital warts are caused by different strains of HPV (human papiloma virus).  A couple of the strains, when transmitted to women, can lead to cervical cancer.  I think the warts can be removed but you should not have unprotected sex with any woman until tests show that the infection has cleared.

no but the virus that causes genital warts can cause cancer in some woman , I would get a pap often if I were you

Yeah it's possible.   HPV is very common and it's also the main cause of cervical cancer.  However, nothing is for sure until they get the whole pathology report back.

Let your friend know that like 75% of men carry HPV.... and it generally doesn't affect them, so they don't know they have it.... and don't get tested for it..... It's not something to be embarrassed about, but it is something to be careful about.... HPV leads to cervical dysplasia, which leads to cervical cancer, which can lead to major problems.... There's not much she can do about it now.... but she should have pap smears done every six months from now on just to make sure

here are the facts about cervical cancer\n\nCervical Cancer\n\n\nGeneral Information About Cervical Cancer \n\n\nCervical cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the cervix.\n\nThe cervix is the lower, narrow end of the uterus (the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a fetus grows). The cervix leads from the uterus to the vagina (birth canal).\n\nCervical cancer usually develops slowly over time. Before cancer appears in the cervix, the cells of the cervix go through changes known as dysplasia, in which cells that are not normal begin to appear in the cervical tissue. Later, cancer cells start to grow and spread more deeply into the cervix and to surrounding areas. \n\nHuman papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the major risk factor for development of cervical cancer.\n\nInfection of the cervix with human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common cause of cervical cancer. Not all women with HPV infection, however, will develop cervical cancer. Women who do not regularly have a Pap smear to detect HPV or abnormal cells in the cervix are at increased risk of cervical cancer.\n\nOther possible risk factors include the following: \n\nGiving birth to many children. \nHaving many sexual partners. \nHaving first sexual intercourse at a young age. \nSmoking cigarettes. \nOral contraceptive use ("the Pill"). \nWeakened immune system. \n\n\nCause \n\n\nCervical cancer is caused by severe abnormal changes in the cells of the cervix. Most precancerous or cancerous cell changes occur in the cervix at the transformation zone because these cells normally undergo constant change. During this natural process of change, some cervical cells can become abnormal, especially if you are infected with high-risk types of HPV.\n\nOther factors that may play a role in causing cervical cancer include:\n\nSmoking or a history of smoking. \nHaving an impaired immune system, such as from having human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). \nUsing birth control pills for more than 5 years. This may be related to infection with HPV.2 \nRegular Pap test screening is the single most important tool to identify cervical cell changes early before they progress to cancer.\n\nNo they don't cause cancer.

I'm not sure on what your actual question is.  Yes, there are over 100 strains of HPV.  Some cause genital warts, some cause cervical dysplasia which can lead to cervical cancer, and many are common and harmless.  If you've been diagnosed with HPV it is probably because you either have genital warts or you've had an abnormal Pap smear.  Yes, you should ask your doctor for more information.

AIDS, HPV (some kinds) and syphilis (if left untreated) can be deadly.\n\nHIV progresses more rapidly into full-blown AIDS without treatment, usually because of infections that develop as a result of the patients weakened immune system.\n\nSince there are strains of HPV that are linked to cervical cancer, failing to seek treatment can be fatal. But since many types of HPV are basically harmless, they need only be monitored with yearly Pap smears (or more frequently -- every three to six months -- if a result comes back abnormal).\n\nUntreated syphilis can lead to serious damage to the brain and the nervous system; mental deterioration; a loss of balance, vision, and sensation; leg pain; and heart disease. A fetus is at particular risk if the mother doesn't seek treatment; the chances for stillbirth and serious birth defects, including blindness, are very high.\n\nGonorrhea will not kill you but it can cause some serious health problems for both men and women. \n\nIn women, it can cause:\n        * life-threatening complications such as ectopic pregnancy (outside the womb)\n        * blocked fallopian tubes (the tubes which carry the egg from the ovaries to the womb), which can result in reduced fertility or infertility\n        * long-term pelvic pain\n\nIn men, it can lead to:\n        * painful inflammation of the testicles, which may result in reduced fertility or sterility

First off Congrats on being cancer free. While I have never had cerival cancer at 19 I was diagonesed with ovarian cancer.  I am now an 8 year survior.  This year however two of my cousins have been diagnoesed with cervical cancer.  They are all under the age 30.  If you want just drop me a message I would love to talk.
