Question 5

if my hasben had oral hpv he suck my breast.. then i breast feeding my baby thas my baby get oral hpv?

Accepted Answer

HPV vs HSV: I wonder if you're actually asking about HSV - which is herpes simplex virus, the virus that causes cold sores. This virus is transmitted by saliva- so I would indeed be careful, although living in a family it is hard 'not' to share viruses among each other. Recent studies have shown oral HPV can be passed back and forth from a couple, at least 15% of the time or more. Talk to a doc for more info.

Question 9

how can hpv be cured?

Accepted Answer

It can't be cured: But most of the time, it goes away on its own. In fact, in young women, almost all of the hpv infections clear up with no treatment. The problem is that not all of them clear up, and those that don't can go on to cervical cancer which is very serious.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Tests: Testing for hpv is available as a reflex test or as an ordered test on routine pap smears. If anyone has had a wart anywhere on their body, they have one of the most common subtypes of hpv.
