I got bunches of info about it at work. We distribute newsletters to all the doctors here. Here's a simple one: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) : Questions & Answers What is Cervical Cancer? Cervical cancer (also known as cervix cancer) is the most common cancer affecting women on the African continent. The aetiological link between HPV infection and cervical cancer is very well established. Persistent infection with certain high risk type HPV infections puts the patient at high risk to develop precancerous lesions as well as cervical cancer. Precancerous lesions can be effectively detected and treated early before cancer develops. Screening of asymptomatic women holds the key to this prevention strategy at present. What is HPV Infection? HPV stands for Human Papillomavirus and this sexually transmitted infection is very common. It tends to disappear from the genitals as the body eliminates and fights against the virus. There are many types of HPV and certain high-risk types can lead to cervical cancer. If one of these high risk types is not eliminated by the patient's immune system and they persist in the genital cells it can lead to abnormal cells and CIN lesions. These lesions can lead to cervical cancer. Low-risk HPV types cause genital warts and not cancer. What is a CIN Lesion? The term CIN stands for Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia. It is the precursor or early warning lesion that cancer could develop. These lesions can be detected on Pap smears and can be treated effectively. How Common is HPV? HPV can be found in the genitalia of the large majority of sexually active people at some stage of their lives. As the infection is mostly transient, most women will have lost the HPV by the age of 30 to 35 years. Who is at Risk to Contract HPV and CIN? All people, male and female, who are sexually active may be infected with HPV. Women who commence sexual activity at a young age, who have several sexual partners and whose partners in turn also have several contacts are at increased risk to contract HPV. If the HPV infection is caused by the high risk types, the risk for cancer exists. Certain other factors such as co-infection with HIV as well as smoking increases this risk. Where was the HPV Infection Contracted? HPV, as mentioned before, is acquired through sexual contact. The HPV can be dormant for short or long periods of time before causing cellular changes. It is not possible to link HPV infection to a specific time or episode. How is HPV Diagnosed? High-risk HPV infection rarely causes any symptoms but will lead to cellular abnormalities of the cervix. These abnormalities can be detected on Pap smears and also by doing special HPV tests. Can HPV Infection be Treated? There is no effective treatment of HPV itself but the cervical cells that have undergone HPV induced changes, can be treated effectively. Can HPV Infection Disappear Spontaneously? In the majority of women HPV infection is transient and the immune system of the body will eliminate the virus from the body. In women older than 30 years the chances of persistence is greater. Do Certain Factors Aid in the Clearance of HPV? Cessation of smoking and maintenance of good sexual health and sound sexual relationships enhance the clearance of HPV. Who should be Tested for HPV Infection? High-risk HPV testing can be used, in conjunction with Pap smear screening to the great benefit of women aged 30 years and older. What is the Relationship between HPV and HIV? Both these infections are caused by viruses that are sexually transmitted. Co-infection leads to a graver outcome of the HPV infection as the immune system has an important role to play in the outcome of both infections. Does the Male Sexual Partner need to be Tested for HPV? It is not necessary as HPV does not always manifest itself and may be transient. Furthermore it does not affect treatment of the female in any way. Will Condom Use Make Any Difference? It is uncertain whether condom use will indeed decrease the risk of recurrent HPV infection. Will HPV Affect the Woman's Fertility? HPV does not cause infertility. Can HPV Infection Affect the Pregnancy and Fetus? HPV infection does not influence the course of pregnancy. If a pregnant woman has genital warts (associated with low-risk HPV types) these warts may increase during pregnancy. The newborn may be infected during the passage through the birth canal. |

I like no strings attached spontaneous sex too.
I just thought that would be relevant. However, I don’t do it very often. I’m not saying I’ve never done it, just that I don’t often, at all. I’m nto too concerned about the medium used to source these partners. Internet, bar, party, it’s all the same I guess. At the end: You’re meeting someone to fuck. That should be the focus, not where you found the person. |
