I have (or had..not sure if it actually ever goes away) HPV and gave vaginal birth to both of my children. I never got warts or anything from it though. Just some bad cells on my cervix. And the last stats I can remember hearing about HPV is that somewhere around 85% of women have it.

There are over 30 kinds of HPV. I have read even up to 100. Most kinds don't do anything or show any symptoms, that's why is it so easily spread from person to person. After all it is the number one STD. \n\nSince you both have the virus it doesn't matter if you have unprotected sex. It is a virus and will stay with you the rest of your life. It's not like you are going to reinfect each other or make it worse. There currently is no cure for HPV right now. \n\nYou need to be going to your OBGYN at least once a year though, because HPV can cause cervical cancer which kills 300,000 women a year! It can also cause genital warts, which although annoying, are treatable. Women usually don't find out they have HPV until they get an abnormal pap smear come back, or they develop genital warts. Both can be treated. Men usually find out they have it by developing genital warts, which can also be treated.\n\nI have had HPV for about 5 years now. I got cervical cancer about a year after I got it, and just six months ago I got genital warts. It can take a while to show any signs or symptoms.

Based on your question, I'm not sure how to answer.  But if you know of a woman who has cancer and wants to or is pregnant, I think all depends on what type of cancer, the treatment, etc.  Best if an expert like a medical doctor is consulted.

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.

I don't believe that. Whether you have the warts or not, you still have the virus. HPV is not curable. The only thing you can do is treat it. As long as you have HPV you will be able to pass it. \n\nI have HPV and I have developed genital warts and cervical cancer from it. Even though I have treated both, I CAN still pass the virus. It's the same with genital herpes. Even if you aren't having an outbreak you CAN still pass the virus.

PEOPLE DO IT ALL THE TIME. HPV nowadays is unavoidable because it can be passed even with use of a condom. There isn't even a test for males. If you go to the gyno regularly (at least 2xs) a year, and use condoms, then I really wouldn't worry. HPV can and will develop into cervical cancer for women who leave their bodies untreated for too long. Most cases of HPV go away on their own. The cells can be removed, if they don't go away, but thats not too much fun. Biopsies are invasive.  Make sure that when you get your pap done that you demand with your pap an HPV test. All too often doctors are giving the old test that does not always pick up the HPV cells. FYI the strain of HPV that causes  genital warts is not the kinds that leads to cervical cancer.

Yes, it is possible to be born with a sexually transmitted infection. Some infections, such as gonorrhea, herpes, HPV, HIV, and syphilis, can be passed from a woman to the fetus during pregnancy or childbirth.

Another important thing to realize is that HPV often has NO SYMPTOMS so it might be hard to diagnose someone with HPV. Definitely get checked next time you go to the gyno.\n\nThanks for the reminder! :)

Yes, hpv is a serious disease, as it frequently causes cervical cancer in women, rectal cancer in those on the receiving end of sodomy, and rarely cancer of the penis in a man.  Yes, you can have kids, and they aren't likely to get it at birth.  But cervical cancer can lead to early infertility, by requiring a hysterectomy, and even by causing early death of a woman.  Condoms do not prevent the spread of hpv.

Yes..I was diagnosed yesterday and I'm devastated. 2004 pap was normal, skipped 2005 (like a fool). last month I had another one and it came back with positive hpv high risk. Was sent to a OB/GYN who did a biopsy and it came back positive for Cervical Cancer...Next step, monday going for a cone biopsy to see if it's still contained in the cervix. Hopefully it is and I'll be cure with a simple hysterectomy. If not contained will be sent to another doctor...

Actually yes, a recent study has shown that the risk of catching HPV from a high risk partner was somewhere near a decreased risk of 10 percent (with a male condom), so yes you can get it using a condom

Genital warts may cause a number of problems during pregnancy. Sometimes they get larger during pregnancy, making it difficult to urinate. If the warts are in the vagina, they can make the vagina less elastic and cause obstruction during delivery.\nRarely, infants born to women with genital warts develop warts in their throats (laryngeal papillomatosis). Although uncommon, it is a potentially life-threatening condition for the child, requiring frequent laser surgery to prevent obstruction of the breathing passages. Research on the use of interferon therapy with laser surgery indicates that this drug may show promise in slowing the course of the disease.

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.

im a little confued did you have both clymidia and hpv if you do that is very possible. hpv does not take a few months. my boyfriend has genital warts (aka hpv) and he thought it could only be passed when he has a break out which is not true. any way i had a break out of genital whart 2 wks later. if you have any more questions or need support feel free to write back i'll be more than happy to help. if you do have hpv keep up on your pap smears becaus it can cause cervical cancer, and remember that hpv is not curable but it may go away over time if your body gets immune to it.

yes i got it. i was very scared because i was always so careful. but my doctor told me that 9 out of 10 people have it. because they have not been able to find hpv in pap smears until about a year ago. hpv is a curable disease. sometimes if your doctor feels you are healthy enough, that it will go away on its on. that happened to me. but i had to go to the gyno every 3 months for testing. my doctor told me that there was two other ways to get rid of it and that was lasor surgury and some type of other device that was a cone they inserted that burned the cells off. i have heard that they have a vaccine that works to boost your immune system. i think it would work. because again mine went away on it on, it took about 6 months. its a slow moving cell, so its takes a while to get rid of them. you will be fine and i wish you luck.
