Question 1

i have been researching hpv a lot and i'm still confused! can you get rid of hpv or not?

Accepted Answer

No: Prior to exposure, before sexual activity has started, there are vaccines that can be administered to prevent most types of problematic hpv. There are two vaccines available, two for women, one for men. Nothing has been shown to cure hpv once contracted.

Question 2

how to get rid of hpv?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: Most people recover from hpv naturally, like recovering from other viral infections.  However, if the infection persists, there are no good interventions to get rid of the virus.  If you are a woman, it is very important that you have regular check ups and pap examinations.  A vaccine is available to prevent common types of hpv infections.

Question 3

can a man get rid of hpv permanently?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Check with your doctor.  It is a wart and can be burned out of existence in expert hands.

Question 4

can there be a way to get rid of hpv forever?

Accepted Answer

Not reliably: Depends on where it is (in the cervix, in the skin of the vulva, etc).  If you had a leep procedure that removed the abnormal cells, then it would be possible to remove the abnormal cells (with hpv) but impossible to know for sure.

Question 5

what to do if i have been researching hpv a lot and i'm still so stuck! can you get rid of hpv or not?

Accepted Answer

Depends: This depends on how you define having hpv. The virus has active and dormant phases. If you are discussing the active phase, like genital warts, these often eventually go away or respond to treatments.However, the virus is from a family of viruses well known for going dormant in the host body with the potential for recurrence.You tend to have it forever, but it may never return to an active state.

Question 6

how can i build my immune system to get rid of hpv?

Accepted Answer

Stop smoking: We don't know the best way to help your body clear an hpv infection--aside from getting the hpv vaccine (gardasil) and not smoking.  I encourage patients to eat dark green, leafy vegetables and brightly colored fruits and veggies--they are usually higher in anti-oxidant levels.  Smoking definitely hinders your ability to fight an hpv infection.

Question 7

wht are some food too take  to get rid of hpv virus?

Accepted Answer

None: There are no foods or antiviral medications that will get rid of hpv. Hpv is a virus that has been shown to cause cerivical cancer. There is a vaccine for hpv and it is recommended that young women and young men talk to their doctor about it. It might not prevent hpv infection but can help to protect both genders against the serious cancer it can cause.

Question 8

i need to get rid of hpv cin1 asap. how can i do this?

Accepted Answer

Immune booster: Learn about boosting your immune system.  Good nutrition, rest, low stress, sleep and exercise. Get the hpv vaccine. Use condoms. Take extra vitamin c and folic acid. Don't smoke.

Question 9

if my immune system is strong enough can i get rid of hpv ?

Accepted Answer

Define "get rid": HPV is a family of viral strains well known for their ability to resurface years after the 1st outbreak. Anyone with a normal immune system should clear the primary infection within 2 years. However, it can return years or decades later. Those strains associated with cancer may never trigger it or may do so years or decades later.

Question 10

can i get rid of  hpv virus permanently out of my body? is it really right that it may take some years to clear it permanently? have it since 2013

Accepted Answer

Don't smoke: HPV DNA may persist indefinitely, but it isn't known how often this happens. Active infection usually is controlled by the immune system within a year or two, does not recur, and the virus cannot be transmitted. So for practical purposes, it is cured. There are no medications, diets, or anything else known to improve clearance. Smoking may delay clearance or increase risk of future problems.
