Question 1

what are the chances of getting cervical cancer when hpv high risk positive?

Accepted Answer

Very low: I tell my patients that we can pretty much eliminate the risk of them getting cancer from hpv if they follow-up regularly as directed with their primary doctor or ob/gyn.  Hpv changes cells of the cervix, vagina, vulva, and anus that are detectable and treatable before cancer develops.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Increased: This is the virus known to cause cervical cancer. Follow with regular pap smears.

Question 3

what are the chances of having cervical cancer when hpv high risk?

Accepted Answer

Higher, get Pap.: If you have a high risk of hpv, it would be wise to be diligent about getting your pap smear screen every year, since this detects and leads to removal of cervical cancer.  This cancer is strongly correlated with exposure to hpv, and this test is relatively easy to do.  If you have not contracted hpv yet or have not become sexually active, you might want to consider getting the hpv vaccine.

Question 4

i am 21 years old what are the chances of my high risk hpv turning into cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

Slight: HPV type 16 and 18 are responsible for the induction of cervix, vaginal and oral squamous Ca.  For most patients the disease resolves spontaneously over 2 yrs.  The persisten infections may lead to malignant transformation.It is estimated that 70% of women and men will come into contact with it during their life. Fortunately 80 to 90% of cases the human papillomavirus will be naturally eliminated

Question 5

if you have double high risk hpv and abnormal cells for 2 yrs straight what are the chances of having cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

Cervical cancer??: The most common strain of HPV which can transform the cells of your cervix to become cancerous is Type 16. There are other Types of HPV which can do that and perhaps that is what you mean by double high risk. Nevertheless infection does not mean those viruses have performed their nasty deeds yet. You would first get a "Pap" smear done and if + then have a colposcopy to remove those nasty cells.

Question 6

Yes: Hpv is just contact; you don't need full penetration to touch infected tissue to mucosa.

Question 8

can you get infected by a high-risk strain of hpv (ones that cause cervical cancer) from wearing someone's unwashed worn underwear if they have those high-risk strains?

Accepted Answer

HPV ?'s: HPV is highly contagious and may be transmitted from genital contact with virus if present in the "unwashed underwear".  There are many different genetic variants of HPV, only a few of which are more likely to cause abnormal cells in the cervix, and those are detectable and treatable early if pap smears are done regularly.

Question 9

does everyone who is infected with high risk hpv develop cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

: Women have been getting pap smears for decades before we knew the link of high risk HPV to cervical cancer. If you follow your docs recommendations for regular pap smears it can be picked up in the pre-cancer stages. If so,  treatment can remove affected cells and stop it before it turns into cancer. It might occur in years or decades but for many it will never happen.

Question 10

dx with hpv 16 two years ago. now i've been prescribed enbrel (etanercept) for ra, can this med make worst the hpv and also be a high risk for cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

Several suggestions: If HPV has been inactive it could be activated technically, though no studies have been done to show this. So, first have your OB-GYN do a thorough exam including a PAP smear, and  if negative have the PAP smear repeated regularly. Second call the Enbrel (etanercept) nurse on call for recent reports or changes.* Enbrel (etanercept) is an important RA treatment so stick with it. Alternatives  same problem.*1-888-436-2735.
