Human Perpilloma Virus HPV
Human papilloma virus or HPV is the most common sexuallytransmitted infection that affects those groups that are sexually active. There
are numerous different types of HPV virus that affect the human being, both
male and female. In fact, there are well over 30 types of HPV virus that
affects human being through sexual intercourse mostly. In most cases, people
affected with HPV might not know they have it, which is why HPV is commonly the
causes of cervical cancer in women.
HPV can easily be cleared away if such person really has a
strong immune system. But there are some cases in which such person immune
system can be affected and no more strong such as viral infections like HIV,
use of some drugs like chemotherapy drugs and some other diseases.
In the United States alone, there are over twenty million
current cases of HPV infected persons, and over 6 million will be diagnosed of
having HPV each year.
Signs and symptoms of HPV are:
-
Warts in the throats which is sometimes rare and
in medical terms, it is called Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis
-
Genital warts
-
Cervical cancer: however, having HPV, does not
mean you might develop cervical cancer, it is just that it might increase your
chances of having the disease if it is not properly taken cared of. See Cervical
Cancer
How is HPV transmitted?
HPV is in most cases passed through sexual intercourse with
a person that is infected. There is an increased chance that a person who keeps
several sexual partners without protections will have HPV virus and transmit
the disease.
The fact is that, HPV can stay up in the body silently
without causing any symptoms or whatsoever but doing hidden damages in the
body. That is why long term infection of the virus may lead to cervical cancer.
And if such person has HIV virus, such person’s immune system will be strongly
affected and reduced and increased chances of HPV occurring.
How to prevent HPV
-
Uses of vaccines which are given in three shots
which is important to get prevent the virus if infected. Most vaccines are
given at the ages of 10, 20 and above respectively. There are vaccines which
are available for both male and female.
-
Use of condoms does go a long way of protecting
you from having the disease. Especially if you are the type that have multiple sex
partners or you just do not trust the sexual history of your sexual partner. Best
is to use condoms all the time.

Abstinence:
means to abstain from sex.
-
Be faithful to your partner: this will go a long
way as keeping multiple partners will increase your chances of having the
infection
-
Take lots of aloe vera: aloe vera has been known
to boost the immune system, help cancer patients, HIV patients. It helps the
body to produce new cells, eradicate free radicals in the body and so much
more. See why you must use aloe vera from cradle to grave. So, a 20 ml of aloe
vera drink a day is just perfect for you..
I have decided to write this short article to compliment
cervical cancer article that I earlier wrote, just to give you a short
explanation about what HPV Is all about.
In conclusion, most diseases which affect us are easily
preventable if we follow simple principles to protect ourselves and loved
once. HPV can stay up in the body and
