Question 1

Can men die of hpv if it lies dormant?

Accepted Answer

Hpv infections an cause genital warts or even cancer, although this isn't likely.   Any persistent sores should prompt a visit to a dr.   The hpv vaccine can help lower the risks of warts, female cancers (vaginal, vulvar, cervical), male cancers (penis, anus) and oral cancers.

Question 2

Can a man have dormant high risk hpv and pass it to their partner more than three years after contracting it?

Accepted Answer

Doctors typically don't check males for HPV. When there are HPV-infected cells in small numbers, nobody knows. Such cells can spread HPV viruses. So, every boy should be vaccinated along with every girl. That prevents the main cancer-causing strains. To prevent the other strains, it requires that people have almost no sexual contact except with one person, maybe 2, probably not 3... in a lifetime.

Question 3

High risk hpv vires can a man's body(not of a woman) be dormant?

if a very small amount of viruses enter the body, do they also become dormant?

what could be the reason for such vires being dormant(eg-if a large number of viruses have entered)??

Accepted Answer

Asking again ? High risk HPV seldom if ever produces any symptoms in males. They just become active with infection and spread it to their sexual contacts for the ~2 years before it becomes dormant. It becomes dormant when the persons immune system creates enough antibodies to make it do so.

Question 4

I am a young man in my 20s. if my body had high risk hpv viruses dormant i would have had dormant hpv activated around the age of 70 and would my wife have contract hpv?(if the immune system weakens with age?

Accepted Answer

You are partially correct the HPV can be out of dormant (reactivated) when the immune system is weakened but you can still spread the virus even you are asymptomatic. However, the good news is most cases of HPV clear within 1 to 2 years as the immune system fights off and eliminates the virus from the body. After that, the virus disappears and it can’t be transmitted to other people.

Question 5

Can hpv jump from a genital organ to oral cavity? is giving oral sex to man the only risk factor for oral hpv?can oral hpv lay dormant in oral cavity?

Accepted Answer

Hpv can jump from gential to oral cavity.  Smoking is a risk factor for oral cancer.  Once you have hpv doesn't mean you'll get cancer, only makes it possible, like an opportunity.  Yes oral hpv can lay dormant in oral cavity.  The risk also increases with the number of sexual partners a person has. Smoking also increases the risk of oral hpv infection.

Question 6

If high risk hpv enters the body for the first time and some of it becomes clear and some of it becomes dormant, will the memory related to the viruses be stored in the immune memory?
i am a 20 year old man. i have not received the vaccine?

Accepted Answer

yes. pl get the vaccine to be safe

Question 7

If a drop of vaginal discharge(with high rsk hpv)as small as a drop of water on one hair enters the body through a man's penis,will hpv enter the body and become dormant?can the immune system clear such a small number of viruses without being dormant?

Accepted Answer

I cannot imagine how the hair would get up the penis. Body fluids is what infects so if it got into penis and virus enters blood steam and you are not immune you got it. Use protection. ALWAYS. It is a matter of life and death.  But hiv can be treated for the rest of your life to protect you and those you exchange bodily fluids.

Question 8

Can dormant hpv  be spread?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but the type of hpv that causes abnormal pap smears in women doesn't cause any untoward symtpoms for men.  Also, there is no testing in men for that particular type of hpv.  For women, the relevant testing is the pap smear or an hpv dna test of the cervix.

Question 9

Can hpv stay for dormant for 8 years?

Accepted Answer

HPV is from a family of viruses known for their ability to remain dormant for decades after the primary infection clears. In some, it will never re-activate and do anything. In others it may. Cervical cancer is linked to some HPV strains and may never happen or only emerge after decades.
