A member asked:
What do you think about the recent studies on ahcc treating hpv? i know that currently hpv is incurable even if it "goes away", but maybe someday?

Very doubtful: AHCC (active hexose correlated compound, an extract of certain mushrooms) is being studied for its effect in cancer, various viral infections, and other conditions. It's in very early research. From what I know, I would not expect it to be any better than other currently available treatments for HPV, and I doubt it will offer permanent cure. If effective at all, it's years away.

I was diagnosed with HPV 35 and 39 (high risk). The doctor advised that theres no cure but that HPV could be clear over time. She recommended Aciclovir tabs (200mg) to be taken over 7 days. Can I continue to take this med until the HPV clears?
When can we expect Oral HPV tests? yes there is no treatment but still if there was an efficient test people with high risk strains could be more aware and monitoring better incase it evolves to cancer?
