Question 1

can i pass non-wart hpv to my son through diaper changes, contaminated hands, sharing towels, bathing, etc?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: Transmission of hpv geneally requires close physical contact.

Question 2

i have oral hpv and ebv, my son just was caught using my toothbrush, last time i used it was yesterday or hours before, is it good chance he'll be ok?

Accepted Answer

Probably fine: Who knows if you have active viruses in your mouth which would then stay viable on your toothbrush and then be transmissible to your son? You will just have to see. We have very few antiviral drugs. None for EBV. There is a new 9-Valent HPV vaccine. Make sure your kid is fully vaccinated.

Question 3

son had hpv shot last saturday wednesday night told me armpit lymph node now swollen  painful cbc normal dr said reaction to shot is this possible ?

Accepted Answer

Vaccine ?'s: Any vaccine contains elements called antigens, which evoke an antibody response to the vaccine to protect against future infections with whatever the vaccine is designed to prevent. This can cause a temporary lymph node reaction which may be painful.

Question 4

could i have passed hpv-18 to my son during child birth?  is it possible that my children can get it from sharing a bath, wash cloth, or toilet seat?

Accepted Answer

See below: Chances are much greater for a young child to have picked the virus during  birthing process if he developed condyloma before 2 years of age.

Question 5

my first son, 40 years old  they had to put him in isolation because i had small worts on my virgina. i forget what they called it, is this hpv?

Accepted Answer

Warts = HPV: Confusing -- do you mean your son is 40 hours old (born 40 hours ago)? Warts of the vaginal area indeed are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). But that's certainly not a reason to put your son in isolation; I've never heard of such a thing. Clarify with your doctor, or with the pediatrician who will be taking care of your son.

Question 6

my pepsmear results showed that i have hpv. my husband and i have been using condoms since we had our son in 2016.

i did my pepsmear in 2017, there was no hpv that came back with the results. is it possible to get hpv while using a condom?

Accepted Answer

: Please discuss the results with the provider who did the PAP smear. In 2017 did they check for HPV ?  not always is that checked on PAP, you have to specify.

HPV can also be in the mouth and other parts not covered by condom and transmitted through other activities.

Question 7

my son is dating a girl diagnosed with hpv, what should he look out for?

Accepted Answer

Warts: Hpv is a group of viruses that are extremely common.  If your son has not received the Gardasil vaccine and she has a history of genital warts, then he could be at risk of getting the strain of hpv responsible for warts.  They would be visible, raised projections from the skin around the vagina, vulva, anus, thighs.  Most likely, she has a strain of hpv found on pap smear but might not have warts.

Question 8

pap came back high grade after son was born went in for hpv biopsy and cleared have two more tests what could cause this?  never had abnormal pap b4

Accepted Answer

HPV: You most likely had a high risk strain of hpv that was cleared but caused cervical dysplasia before being cleared.  In general, women under 30 should not be tested for hpv because it will likely go away. Over 30, women should be tested because hpv is less likely to go away.

Question 9

should my son get the hpv vaccine?

Accepted Answer

Eventually yes: The hpv vaccine is an anti-cancer vaccine protecting against most cervical cancers and probably against anal cancers caused by the same viruses. The vaccine is very safe but is expensive. With limited resources in healthcare, all girls should be offered the vaccine first, then the high-risk boys, then the remaining boys. Boys can ask for the vaccine now, if they want it, regardless of risk level.

Question 10

how will my son dating a girl with hpv affect his life and sexual activity?

Accepted Answer

Possible HPV warts: Hpv is a group of viruses that are extremely common. If your son has not received the Gardasil vaccine and she has a history of genital warts, then he could be at risk of getting the strain of hpv responsible for warts. They would be visible, raised projections from the skin around the vagina, vulva, anus, thighs. Most likely, she has a strain of hpv found on pap smear but might not have warts.
