A member asked:

Will having hpv prohibit me from being a potential kidney donor? my pcp is confident i will clear it. i was diagnosed in september of 2022 so will be doing my follow-up pap next month but will be starting the living donor medical evaluation next week?

HPV strains are surface dwellers that do not enter your blood like flu or many other viruses. They confine their reach to the tissues where they arise. I doubt that this would make a difference or be something the transplant team would ask about.
