HPV.... my friend needs so much help!?


Ok so my friend got a vaccine for HPV but she masterbates so she is afraid that the body might think the HPV was passed by touching so she might get genital warts on her body..... is that possible?

no... this is not possible. vaccines work by introducing dead viruses into the body. the body recognizes these viruses as invaders and creates anti-bodies specifically designed to fight that viral infection, so that when the body comes in contact with the real virus, it already has the specific antibody to fight that virus.
The viruses from the vaccine are dead... the are non-virulent, meaning they do not cause infection. no amount of rubbing or dry humping or even sex with a uninfected partner is going to cause the vaccine to become magically alive and infect her with HPV.

Do tell your friend this however: HPV is the most common of sexually transmitted diseases. there are some strains that don't cause warts and their are some strains that don't cause cervical cancer. the strains that the vaccine inoculate against are the ones most commonly know to be precursors to cervical cancer. so even though she is protected from those four strains, she's not protected from all of them, nor is she protected from other stds and she should still practice safe sex with her partner(s).

and here's another scary statistic: it is estimated that 75% of the reproductive age population have been infected with HPV. chances are, that if your sexually active, you've been exposed to it and don't even know it. Actually most strains of HPV don't have symptoms and people remain perfectly healthy. 90% of the time, the virus has been suppressed by the immune system with in 2 years.
another fact: there is no FDA approved test for testing HPV in men, so ladies, its all up to us! make sure you get your pap every year and get treated if you find out you're positive. don't live in fear of HPV... take care of yourself and be healthy.

Maybe this is a little more than you wanted to know about HPV, but I feel its important to spread the word!

your friend is fine if she wants to masterbate. that is not possible

a vaccine shoots antibodies into your blood stream. HPV is infectious. They are two different things. When you get vaccinated before you enter public schooling you don't get the viruses they are vaccinated you for!

No.
