A member asked:
Does having hpv 16 affects the immune system? such as being prone to other kinds of infections and taking a longer time to recover from normal flu etc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HPV is not immunosuppressive and should not affect your immune system. Get HPV vaccination to prevent infection with other strains of HPV. Get Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
