Question regarding HPV?

Hello guys, im 16 years old and in health class we are talking somewhat of HPV and tomorrow we will have a class discussion so i would like to know more about it, so sorry if i sound stupid or anything. Can a girl get HPV if the guy uses a condom? Also what about if the guy had an HIV/STD test and came out clean, can you get it? Could you guys explain me. Thanks. 5+ to the best respond.

kk but like im still confused if the guy had a STD test and it came out clean, does he have HPV or not?

HPV is the human papillomavirus. It's a nasty little STD that can cause cancer in females. Condom use does significantly reduce the risk of HPV, since you can only get it by swapping body fluids. But most guys don't use condoms properly - so there is still a risk. HPV usually doesn't have any signs or symptoms, especially for guys. HIV is not related to HPV - they are two different viruses. So even if you know you don't have HIV, you could still have HPV.

There is a new vaccine available to girls your age that protects against most strains of HPV. It's not 100%, but it's a whole lot better than taking chances.

Hope this helps.

no protection protectes 100% only abstinence! as for hiv or other std's they might not show up right away; for example I work wih a nurse that was stuck with a needle of a patient with hiv and she had to have a series of tests done a certin amount of time inbetween to make sure she was o.k, she was! be smart!!!

Yes HPV can be transmitted even with the use of condoms. There is lots of skin contact between the woman vulva and the base of the penis. HPV can be transmitted without penetration just from hand to genital sex play. HPV can be transmitted to the oral area through oral sex.

There is no approved HPV test for the male. HPV is not included in STD screening. A person can have HPV with no visible signs or symptoms. A male may have a solution of vinegar placed on his penis or other genital area to find small flat warts but this screening will not screen for HPV not visible.

A Pap test screens for abnormal cell changes of the cervix. An HPV test uses the same sample taken of the cervical cells to screen for high risk HPV. A pap can miss abnormal cell changes. An HPV test is a different test than your Pap smear but it uses the sample sample your doctor takes of the cervix. This test does not screen for high or low risk HPV of the vulva. The HPV test is a DNA test looking only for high risk HPV types.

HPV is transmitted through the shedding of viral particles these viral particles find a way into your skin or the mucous of the cervix through little micro abrasions that sex creates.

I hope this helps you tomorrow.

HPV is a very common virus; in fact, it is estimated that 80% of women will contract the virus by age 50. There are more than 100 strains of HPV, with approximately 30 affecting the genital area. These 30 strains are divided into two groups: 鈥渓ow-risk鈥?HPV and 鈥渉igh-risk鈥?HPV. Low-risk HPV cannot cause cervical cancer; however, it may cause genital warts or minor cell changes on the cervix that disappear on their own. High-risk HPV has the potential to cause harmful cervical cell changes. If left untreated, these changes may develop into cervical cancer.

The strains of HPV that cause genital warts and cervical cancer are transmitted through intimate, skin-to-skin (genital) contact. Condoms do not provide complete protection from the virus because they do not cover the entire genital area. So, yes, a female can contract HPV even if her partner uses a condom.

Currently, there is no FDA approved HPV test for men. This is because an effective, reliable way to collect a sample of male genital skin cells (which would allow detection of HPV), has yet to be developed. However, the CDC advises men that they don鈥檛 need to be worried about the lack of an HPV test for them because "there is no clear health benefit to knowing if men have this virus, since HPV is unlikely to affect their health and cannot be treated. For most men, there would be no need to treat HPV, even if treatment were available, since it usually goes away on its own."
