How many different types of HPV's is there?
397968
of course it has many type ,they known by number and type 16,18,31,33 and 35 known as risk factor for cervical displasia and cervix cancer for sure but it has many other type that are safe

Warts are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).

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! :)

It depends on what kind of herpes you are talking about.\n\nHerpes simplex virus 1 (cold sores) can be spread by simply kissing or being kissed by someone who has sores on or around their mouth. \n\nHerpes simplex virus 2 (genital herpes) can be spread by skin to skin contact or having sex with someone with the virus. Even if they have no visible sores they could possibly be "shedding" the virus. \n\nHerpes zoster (shingles) can be linked to having exposure to someone with chickenpox.\n\nAs for the girl above, there are not thousands of types of herpes. There are only three main types. Maybe she is thinking of HPV (Human papillomavirus), and even then, there are any where from 30 to 100 kinds of HPV, not thousands!

I find it hard to believe that people don't know what HPV is, because we're practically being bombarded with information about HPV on TV, on the internet, and in magazines. I've known about HPV for quite a while now, and I'm not even a teenager yet. I guess they really don't care much about disease and health.

Human papillomavirus, or HPV, is a type of virus that infects the epithelial layer (the outer layer or covering) of the skin and mucous membranes. Over 70 different types of HPV have been identified. The various types of HPV each have a tendency to infect specific areas of the body.\n\nThe most common manifestation of HPV is warts. This includes warts on the skin such as plantar warts or common warts, and warts in the genital area, known as genital warts. However, many types of HPV do not cause warts or any other symptoms.\n\nGenital HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States. At least 80 percent of sexually active women will have acquired an HPV infection by age 50.\n\nIt is important because certain types of genital HPV infection have been associated with an increased risk of changes in the cells of the cervix, including precancerous conditions and cervical cancer. Other genital tissues (vulva, vagina) may also show precancerous changes or cancer possibly related to HPV infection, but this occurs less frequently than cervical cell changes.\n\nGenital HPV is spread through direct physical contact such as intercourse, oral sex, anal sex, or any other contact involving the genital area (eg, hand to genital contact).\n\nSome types of HPV can cause genital warts, which may be associated with discomfort such as itching, burning, or tenderness in the genital area. However, most women with sexually transmitted HPV do not have any symptoms at all.\n\nWomen who test positive for an HPV infection may have acquired the infection days to a year or more prior to the diagnosis.\n\n****\n****\nThere is currently no treatment that is effective against the HPV itself. Women with genital warts may be treated with agents designed to reduce or remove the warts, including creams, oral medications, or surgery. In women who have HPV with no symptoms, the infection usually goes away without treatment, although infection with the higher risk types of HPV may linger for some time.\n\nResearch on a vaccine to treat or prevent infection is underway.\n\nHope this helped.\n\nBest of luck.\n\n-yes, I'm a doctor.

hey there, im in med school... i just learned about this.... i took this quote from a website that i just stumbled upon....\n\n"Genital HPV infection is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Human papillomavirus is the name of a group of viruses that includes more than 100 different strains or types. More than 30 of these viruses are sexually transmitted, and they can infect the genital area of men and women including the skin of the penis, vulva (area outside the vagina), or anus, and the linings of the vagina, cervix, or rectum. Most people who become infected with HPV will not have any symptoms and will clear the infection on their own."\n\nSo, unless you get some serious effects from this, nothing to worry about.  but, just to be on the safe side, get a regular PAP test because bumps and worts can be an early warning sign for cervical cancer.

Hi. I was diagnosed with cervical cancer when I was 25. I do remember the ob-gyn handing me a check-list of questions (about a dozen, i think) regarding behaviour/contributing factors that may be linked to the development of this type of cancer. Certainly 'multiple sexual partners' was on this list, but i don't recall a question about my partners sexual habits. I was told that multiple partners could increase the risk of being exposed to the pap virus, which is certainly a factor in developing this type of cancer. I'm not aware of any other viruses linked to cervical cancer. Perhaps you could ask your ob-gyn specifically why he asked and what he may be looking for? If your ob-gyn has a theory, you have a right to be kept informed. By the way, mine was 22 years ago.

I have HPV and I have had cervical cancer. They say that HPV can cause cervical cancer (but so do other things - like extended use of birth control pills). HPV is NOT curable. It is a virus and will stay with you the rest of your life. People usually go through life not realizing that they have it because there really are no symptoms. 75% - 80% of the WORLD has HPV. That's why it is spread so easily from person to person. As for cervical cancer...I've be treated for mine, and so far it hasn't come back. Make sure you are getting your annual pap smears done, and if yours comes back abnormal you should be going every 4 months, or more (if your doctor wants). Cervical cancer can be treated, but you need to catch it before it gets really bad. Good luck!

The human papilloma virus (HPV) is sexually transmitted, and is unfortunately very common. If you were both molested by the same man and have had no other partners, it is likely that you both got the virus from him (assuming there was penetration involved). However, if you have had other sexual partners it's possible you got it from one of them. Many people (some studies say as many as 80%) carry this virus, even though it doesn't cause dysplasia in everyone. Once you get the virus it often doesn't go away, and it usually takes several years before you actually get dysplasia changes on your pap smear, sometimes as long as 10 years. Sorry you have to go through this, but stay on top of it so the bad cells can be taken care of and it won't progress to cancer! Good luck!

HPV is human papillomavirus.  It has recently been discovered that this is the cause of cervical cancer.\n\nAround 80% of the sexually active population will come into contact with HPV at some point in their lives, and most do not develop cancer because the virus either does not cause symptoms at all, or the symptoms that do develop are caught early and treated before they have a chance to progress. \n\nThis is why it is so important for women to get a pap smear at least once a year.  Although there is no cure it is a highly treatable before it has a chance to become cancer.\n\nAs to the warts - get yourself tested.  Unlike men, women do not always show the warts on the outside.  If you have them get treatment.\n\nOther than that you have to question, where did all these STD's come from.

A history of HPV infection is believed to be a prerequisite for the development of cervical cancer; according to the American Cancer Society, women with no history of the virus do not develop this type of cancer. However, most HPV infections do not progress to cervical cancer. Because the process of transforming normal cervical cells into cancerous ones is slow, cancer occurs in people who have been infected with HPV for a long time, usually over a decade (Greenblatt, 2005; Sinal and Woods, 2005).\n\nHigh-risk HPV types 16 and 18 are together responsible for over 70% of cervical cancer cases (Baseman and Koutsky, 2005; Cohen, 2005). Type 16 causes 41 to 54% of cervical cancers (Noel et al., 2001; Baseman and Koutsky, 2005) and is also the usual cause of VIN (Edwards et al., 2005) and oropharyngeal cancers (Bolt et al., 2005).\n\nIf a woman has cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, or abnormal (possibly precancerous) cervical cells, a Pap smear can detect them. It is particularly important for women who have abnormal cervical cells to undergo colposcopy so that precancerous and cancerous lesions can be detected and treated early. \n\nSource(s):\n\nhttp://www.wikipedia.com \nThe condition of mild dysplasia or an ascus pap smear result will usually indicte the presence of the high risk strains of HPV genital wart viruses. When diagnosed with this condition it is recommended to have Pap smears and colposcopy every 4-6 months. Treatment is seldom recommended, because the progress to advanced stages usually takes several years and can easily be detected. The disease is linked to the sexually transmitted Human papilloma virus, which causes abnormal cells development. The condition of mild dysplasia or an ascus pap smear result will usually indicte the presence of the high risk strains of HPV genital wart viruses.

there are too many types of cancer to list , but i think you might be asking about testical  , breast , cervical , uterine , ovarian cancers

A good percentage of people who get cervical cancer (somewhere around 80, I think) have it caused by the HPV virus. However, that's obviously not the only cause. So it's still a good idea to get checked out.
