Question 1

hpv & hsv2 are both contracted via skin contact. why does hsv2 enter the bloodstream & hpv doesn't? why does hpv go away eventually but hsv stay?

Accepted Answer

Germ behavior: First, HPV doesn't really go away, symptoms like warts can clear, but the germ usually goes into hibernation and can return later. It has a tissue preference to live on or near surfaces, not enter the blood. HSV can erupt on skin surfaces and enter the blood, it can also clear, hibernate and return. These are cousin germs, but they behave differently, that's just the way it is

Question 2

will hpv ever go away?

Accepted Answer

Many actually do go: Many young/healthy teens/adult contract the hpvs but some have the natural ability to clear them over time. The exact percentage is unknown and we don't have a way to determine who can and who cannot clear the infections. We just know many persist with the infection and causes diseases such as cervical cancers, genital/anal warts etc..Best is to prevent them--vaccines, protection/condom. Good luck.

Question 3

does hpv ever go away?

Accepted Answer

Might,however: The HPV represent a family of dozens of virus strains that have a pattern of staying within an infected host forever. For some that have easily recognized features like the warts, it is obvious when they become inactive.(disappear) However, they also may reappear years later.  Some strains may never come out of their hiding places, but I always assume they could. Some probably never do.

Question 4

can hpv go away on its own?

Accepted Answer

HPV: Most such infections clear spontaneously, although those strains that do not have the potential (depending upon which ones you have) to lead to malignancies.

Question 5

does hpv go away over time?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Hpv is human pappiloma virus.  It causes visible warts and times non-visible warts.  Hpv is a known cause of cervical cancer and other cancers.  As the body recognizes the virus, one could become devoid of the warts.  They usually persist at some level or stage.  If young, make sure you are vaccinated, both male and female. Practice safe sex.  Get gyn checks and pap smears as per guidelines.

Question 6

can hpv ever go away for good.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Some women eventually clear their hpv infection.

Question 7

how can i make hpv go away faster?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, you can&#x27;t: There are effective treatments for genital warts, cervical dyspasia, or other HPV abnormalities and may speed clearing of HPV itself. Smoking contributes to persistent HPV and stopping tobacco may help the immune system clear it faster. But that&#x27;s about all. There are no other treatments, diet, lifestyle, or anything else known to help. Happily most HPV infections clear up within 1-2 years.

Question 8

i have hpv 16 does it ever go away ?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: There is no specific treatment but some infections spontaneously go away. But don't rely on this. Instead get PAP smears every year as 16 and 18 have a high risk for cervical cancer. And keep yourself healthy with good habits.

Question 9

if i'm a hpv carrier doese it ever go away?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: In almost all cases, the immune system suppresses the infection to a point that it goes away, does not recur, and cannot be tansmitted. However, HPV DNA often (usually? always?) persists, with a possibility of reactivation in the future. Fortunely, the large majority of inections are harmless. Having genital HPV is normal, expected fact of life; it happens to almost everyone.

Question 10

why does hpv go away in most men than women?

Accepted Answer

Two issues: First, am not sure that your assumption that hpv clears more readily in men than women is necessarily correct, but assuming for the sake of argument that it is, it may be related to hormonal influences, and to the fact that detection in women may require invasive examination.
