is it unusual to have a false hpv result?

Question

Can HPV be passed onto another person if that person has had a clear result for past 20 years?

Answer 1

No: No laboratory test is perfect. That said, false positive hpv dna test results are very uncommon. Depending upon the type / brand of test used, it is possible that some "low risk" hpv types can be detected by "high risk" probe sets. In this sense, a person may be labeled as being at greater risk for cervical cancer, but the "false positive" is in the type of virus and not the presence of virus.

Answer 2

Not standard : There is no "staging" in hpv. Ask you doctor for a more complete explanation.

Answer 3

HPV can cause cancer: Hpv stage two is most likely a report of the pap smear. If the cervical cells show any change that can be predictive that you are at risk for getting cancer then they grade the changes. The grades range from zero to five. Stage two means that you will be offered further testing and even treatment to stop this progression towards cervical cancer.

Answer 4

??????: I think you mean cin2 or moderate dysplasia. There is no stage 2 hpv. There is a low risk hpv that causes warts. There is a high risk hpv that causes precancer and cancer cells in the cervix. Cin2 is a moderate degree of precancerous cells in the cervix. Hope the info helps and that i interpreted the info correctly. If not send me a follow up.

Answer 5

Not available: At this time there is nothing on the market in pill form for hpv. If you have warts consider asking for Aldara (imiquimod) cream. If you are concerned because your partner is hpv positive use a condom to decrease viral load and you will likely form an immune reaction over time. At some point males may be candidates for the hpv vaccine, but not as of now.

Answer 6

HPV: Nope. But 95% of the hpv strains that cause cancer are now preventable with the vaccine known as gardisil.

Answer 7

DO NOT BELIEVE SO: Not that i know of. Need an antiviral.

Answer 8

As above: No not to my knowledge.

Answer 9

Will not kill you: U get hpv by genital, oral, oro-genital contact, genito-anal or oro-anal contact with an infected partner.Hpv in itself does not kill, unless getting infected is motive for being killed by a partner who was infected by you.

Answer 10

Family of viruses: HPV is a family of viruses that infect the skin.Those strains that prefer to live on genital skin are often transferred sexually. Some strains cause genital warts while others are associated with various cancers. The primary infection tends to clear in most with a normal immune system, but the cancer associated strains hang around and turn to cancer decades later.
