Question 1

allergies or hpv in throat? 24, hpv+, itchy throat for 2 weeks since temperatures outside rose. diagnosed w/hpv 2 months ago.

Accepted Answer

Impossible to say: If you have a specific concern, contact an ENT who can evaluate your nasal and oral cavity to see if HPV is an issue. The symptoms are too vague and may be produced by numerous issues.

Question 2

can you get hpv in your throat from giving oral sex?

Accepted Answer

Only if she is...: Only if she is nibbling on or swallowing from areas that are infected with or contaminated with HPV virus can she catch the virus in her throat. She can't get something from nothing... which means the other person has to have some HPV that is transmissible. Realize that without seeing an obvious wart, she would not be able to tell if the other person really is infected or not.

Question 3

is there any way to know if you are infected with hpv in your throat and lungs?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Forget the lungs, as the germ does not go there, but an Ear Nose and Throat doc could evaluate the base of your tongue ant throat for evidence of infection.

Question 4

my bf and i have hpv and i gave him oral and deepthroat sex. i suspect that i have hpv in my throat and mouth too. what are symptoms of hpv in mouth?

Accepted Answer

HPV in mouth : Oral pain, trouble swollowing, redness of the tongue and palate. Discharge. You may have fevers, swollen lymph nodes as well as the cause. Just get checked by your primary doctor.

Question 5

what are the chances of getting oral hpv warts in throat or mouth after giving unprotected oral sex to a female? i am paranoid that i might have it.

Accepted Answer

High if lesions ...: Very high if visible lesions are present. The virus likes to go from one warm, moist place to another warm moist place regardless whether it is the mucous membranes of the vagina or mouth. A dental dam can be somewhat protective just like a condom is better than nothing for male to female transmission.  It won't completely prevent it due to uncovered area.

Question 6

i have hpv and have been using a menstrual cup for periods. i boil my cup in a cooking pot. my roommate has accidentally been using the same pot i boil my period cup in to cook her food. should i be concerned she will get hpv in her throat?

Accepted Answer

: HPV is instantaneously inactivated by boiling water. No risk at all. The household contacts of persons with genital HPV never catch it despite years of sharing toilets, kitchens, eating utensils, etc -- assuming they aren't also sex partners of the infected person. Your roommate cannot catch your HPV without sex with you.

Question 7

can you give yourself oral hpv. meaning wife is vaccinated but have oral sex with her and you give yourself your own hpv strain in your throat? i just dont feel well achey sore muscles in neck can hpv do that?

Accepted Answer

: HPV auto-inoculation (self transfer of infection to a new body area) is believed to be uncommon, but may explain some oral infections. This is an entirely separate issue from performing oral on your wife, but her vaccination makes it very unlikely. HPV never causes the symptoms you describe. Oral HPV usually is harmless, rarely warts, cancer, or other health problems. You should not be worried.

Question 8

life expectancy of in-operable hpv related throat cancer i am concerned?

Accepted Answer

Chemo RT: The lesions that appear in the head and neck area that are HPV related are squamous cancers.  Several approaches can be used.  If in posterior pharynx then transhyoid pharyngotomy can expose lesion for resection.  Gamma knife therapy may bring lesion under control and chemo using 1-2000 mg. methotrexate with citrovorum factor over 12-24 hrs. may eliminate if not bring lesion under control.

Question 9

tested positive genital hpv16 & others. how to know if i have the throat type too? is it also no symptoms? how to cure throat hpv in this case if any?

Accepted Answer

No cure: There is immunization for HPV, but no cure - yet. In most individuals, the body's immune system seems to neutralize the virus over an up to  2 year time period. HPV infections don't cause symptoms, unless an individuals' body is unable to fight the virus and decade down the road ends up with cancer of the cervix or the throat. A swab from the throat is technically possible.

Question 10

can a person get hpv or herpes in the throat. im not sick but my throat hurts sometimes and i feel like i've held my breath . i have hpv and hsv1.

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dr. can check.: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). A couple days of throat lozenges and tylenol (acetaminophen) can decrease throat pain.
