A member asked:
Healthy diet, working out, vitamin supplements & no sex now. will this help boost my immune system to fight and stop hpv infections (cin)? thanks

No: One does not want to just "boost" an immune system. Bad things happen when one's immune response is too little (can get infections, and die from serious ones). Bad things happen when one's immune response is too much (can get auto-immune disorders, where one's own immune system attacks oneself). Life is about balance. Exercise, a healthy diet, and approved supplements are fine, but don't stop HPV.
