Can a woman in her 80s get the disease if she ingests a small amount of high risk hpv viruses?(she is a healthy woman)can her immune system clear viruses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
hard to imagine a woman 'ingesting' the virus. HPV usually occurs by sexual contact of some sort. Immune system is there to fight any 'outside' invasion of the body
