Learn About HPV


more than eighty percent of American
women will contract a strain of this SC
I by age 50 hi I’m Rebecca Braden and
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be learning more about the causes and
effects of HPV or human papillomavirus
let’s start with the basics what is HPV
HPV is um peplum of ours this virus is
cause a variety of changes in the body
these viruses also are very fussy they
don’t like to grow anywhere and
everywhere on the body so for example
HPV is involved in the production of
common warts or planters warts however
dose HPV viruses that cause common warts
do not like to growing the gentles and
then there’s HPV that grows in mucous
membranes of the genitals the throat and
these are the ones that we talk about
and there’s the ones that were concerned
about primarily it’s obviously
associated with sexual contact because
we’re talking about the variety of HPV
that grows in mucus secretions or the
mucous membranes but it’s not
necessarily something where penetration
is required is this considered an STD or
an STI and what is the difference
between those two things an STI is
essentially an infection the reason the
word is used is basically because as
with HPV for example a lot of people may
carry the virus but not necessarily
manifest any symptoms whereas the
disease is something that is got a set
of symptoms set of presentation you know
these signs that one sees things that
you see visually or that you can feel
what are some signs and symptoms that we
should be on the lookout for the major
symptoms in fact no symptoms the things
that we can see our gentle words which
are manifested in the genital area
obviously but it can also be picked up
in the throat so you can sometimes see
gentle or warts in the TRO you can see
changes in the cervix and women during
the pap smear and those would be
abnormal cells that we would pick up
what are the short and long term effects
of this illness when people find out
they’ve got HPV because of the stigma
associated with in EST is there’s a lot
of anger there’s a lot of Tears there’s
a lot of people being upset
and that’s what mostly we have to deal
with when it occurs condyloma rewards
you will get rid of basically because
again it’s annoying because it’s a
concrete reminder that there’s an STI
and it upsets people more long term
changes or cancers so cancer the cervix
and women cancer the penis cancer the
anus and cancer of the throat if you
contract HPV do you have it forever the
virus seems to vanish in most cases now
does that mean it’s completely gone or
that’s very well hidden and the test
can’t pick it up that we don’t really
know yet after three to six months those
changes revert back to normal so there
seems to be a potential for the body to
pour the virus to disappear does the
body essentially rid itself of it does
it actively do that it’s hard to know
thank you very much you’re welcome
