Question 1

this test detects fourteen high-risk hpv types (16/18/31/33/35/39/45/
51/52/56/58/59/66/68) without differentiation. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Just what it says: It means you have one or more of those 14 HPV types. Presumably this is on a pap smear result, right? Even with the high risk HPV types, the vast majority of infections do not progress to cancer. But better safe than sorry, so follow your doctor's advice about further evaluation (e.g. colposcopy?) and follow-up pap smears.

Question 2

is cin1 caused by 14 high-risk hpv types?

Accepted Answer

? 14 ?: The last time I checked there were 7 strains of HPV called high risk due to an association with cervical cancer &amp; its transitional forms.There may be more discovered over time but these are the strains included in the newer Gardacil 9 vaccine.

Question 3

what happens when the cervical dysplasia is gone but the high risk hpv types are still present?

Accepted Answer

Recurrence: Even with proper treatment of cervical dysplasia, the fact that this is caused by a viral infection gives a 30% recurrence rate for cervical dysplasia. The high risk hpv types may always be present.

Question 4

does birth control increase the susceptibility of cervical cells to persistent infection with high-risk hpv types? i heard it can cause hpv to be persistent if its a high risk type. thanks

Accepted Answer

Little effect: Hormonal contraceptives (pills, implant, etc) have been studied carefully for their effect on HPV and the results are reassuring. Hormonal contraception may slightly increase the risk of persistence and perhaps progression to cervical cancer, but any effect is very small. This really isn't a serious worry.

Question 5

what does this mean high-risk hpv test detects thirteen high-risk types
16/18/31/33/35/39/45/51/52/56/58/59/68) without differentiation. ?

Accepted Answer

HPV: It doesn't specify which of the 13 you may have been exposed to.  Women with HPV 16 and 18 are much more inclined to develop cervical dysplasia (precancer) and cancer.  You may want to ask if your physicians office offers a test more specific to types 16 and 18.

Question 6

if i have 13 different high risk hpv viruses and i am 51 years old. is there anyway i can get vaccinated?

Accepted Answer

: Are you sure you tested positive for 13 HPV types? With a PCR test from the genital or anal area? That would be exceedingly rare. Maybe tested for 13 types with up to a few positive? Or if this was a blood test, positive results detect both current and past infection. Even then, 13 is unusual and probably some of the positive results probably are false. Discuss with the doctor who ordered the test

Question 7

lgsil mild dysplasia/high risk hpv 13 strands found including 16,18. do i have cancer?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: The data you provided does not comport with a diagnosis of cancer, not even pre-cancer. However, you need to follow your doctor's instructions for repeat testing,
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 8

i had sex with a woman with high risk hpv ( not the type that causes warts)using a condom.is there a risk of getting high risk hpv infection?

Accepted Answer

: The high risk strains of HPV rarely cause significant issues in straight men. The problem generally is you can acquire it if exposed to a woman infected by these strains during her first 2 yrs (after which it is less contagious). Men are at some risk of throat cancer from oral sex &amp; very rarely a penile cancer, but the main issue is you rarely if ever know you caught it, but can spread it.

Question 9

is it true eating certain types of food enriched with vitamin a, c , folic and albumin clears off the high risk hpv strains ?

Accepted Answer

: There is no accepted study proving that It is an assumption that immune boosting things can do that/ If you have a healthy diet and life-style you would not need things

Question 10

is there no way for the high risk hpv virus(hpv type that causes cervical cancer) to enter the body other than sexual activity?is there really no other way?

Accepted Answer

: Contact with the virus, whether through actual sexual intercourse, or "foreplay" with vaginal insertion of fingers with viral presence, c transmission of the virus can be with one of multiple sub-types, including "high risk" sub-types.
