The Facts and Truth about HPV

HPV (Genital human papillomavirus) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). Both men and women can carry one of the strains of HPV that results in genital warts, or cervical cancer. Those carrying HPV can show no signs or symptoms of having the strain. Those with HPV can unknowingly pass the virus to one sexual partner to another. In fact, the most prevalent strains of HPV that have been linked to cervical cancer are the least likely to show any symptoms for many years.

Roughly 3,000-4,000 women die each year from cervical cancer, which is often treatable if caught in its early stages. Medical researchers state that this number is high because most women have no clue they have cervical cancer Around 250 individual strains of HPV have been identified, but only a few of them lead to the most problematic medical conditions: genital warts in both men and women and cervical cancer in females. Genital HPV is only transmitted by sexual contact, or in a very small number of cases, by oral sex with a partner who is already infected. You CANT catch HPV from a toilet seat or from sitting where someone else who has HPV has been sitting. If you discover you have genital warts, it doesn’t mean that your current sexual partner is the one who gave it to you. In most cases, the strains of HPV that cause genital warts can lie dormant in your system for many years before a breakout can occur.

Contracting HPV does not mean you are sexually promiscuous. All it takes is one sexual encounter to become infected with the HPV virus. The more you engage in sexual encounters, the more likely you are to contract HPV or any one of a number of other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). So the logical solution is to always practice safe sex, particularly when you have a new sexual partner. Not only will a condom prevent you from the symptoms of HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases, it will help avoid unwanted pregnancy and protect your from HIV. Every individual is at risk of being exposed to HPV and displaying HPV symptoms. The most effective way to protect yourself is to always practice safe sex and educate yourself as much as possible about HPV, HPV symptoms and HPV treatments.
