Prescribed drugs can strengthen your antiviral immunity?

A man infected with Strain-16. What to do?

I am 30 years old. I was dating a man, he proposed. We did not always use protection during sex because he convinced me that he had tested for HPV infections many times before and that he was picky about his sexual partners. As a result, after another sexual encounter, symptoms similar to cystitis appeared. I went to a urologist; the CA125 and other tests showed cystitis, and I started taking antibiotics. At the same time, I sent the man for tests for sexually transmitted infections (the gynaecologist gave me a referral). Since we started having sex at least a month ago, I believe it’s too early for me to test.

According to the results, he has an HPV-16 genotype, a high oncogenic type. Does it mean that I am now 100% infected, and will this cause cancer in the future and the inability to have children? I read a lot of information on the Internet that this is not curable at all and is dangerous only for women. I know it is my fault and I believed him in words, but what should I do now… Do I have a chance for a full life in the future? How can I find a new partner with such a disease… I immediately decided to end the relationship with my current one, but it didn’t make it any easier.

It is impossible to cure HPV if you have it.

It is not a fact that you are infected.

Cancer is not a must.

But if you are infected, you must monitor your health because you are in a risk group.

Tell your new partner 100%. Exchange certificates with tests.

If he is not infected, you will honestly need to break up with him because a condom does not guarantee protection from HPV.

But many men have it so that you will find someone.

Two months ago, doctors diagnosed me with cervical erosion and human papillomavirus types 16 and 18, while tests for other STIs returned negative results. The cytological conclusion indicated that, within the material, I had scattered erythrocytes, as well as cells of the glandular epithelium of the cervix exhibiting hyperplasia. Additionally, the analysis showed a stratified squamous epithelium (mainly superficial) and leukocytes present in numbers up to 1/2 per field of view, with some in a state of decay.

After the treatment, which included Fluamisin, Genfegon, and Proteflazid over a total duration of 6 weeks, I underwent simple and extended colposcopy. The examination revealed a mixed general picture, and the conclusion indicated the endothelium of the columnar epithelium.  Furthermore, the analysis for types (16, 18, 31, 33, 35, and 45) returned negative results. The cytological conclusion showed multilayered squamous epithelium (mainly superficial) against a background of erythrocytes, along with a small amount of epithelium from the central canal, some of which exhibited signs of hyperplasia. The leukocyte count was between 1/4 to 1/2 of the field of view, and AC was not detected. Initially, a gynecologist performed the CA125 examination and prescribed the treatment; however, the current gynecologist specializes in cervical pathologies.

Concerns About Erosion, and Treatment Options

At the moment, they informed me that I need to retake exams for STIs (13 in total, including types 16, 18, 31, 33, 34, and 45). They didn’t mention anything about continuing the treatment; instead, they said the erosion did not heal. I wonder if the erosion can heal on its own after the course of treatment, if I need more radical (surgical) treatment, and whether the CA125 healthcare providers are conducting the treatments and examinations correctly.

Also, can the papillomavirus transmit through household means (since I visited the pool)? Is it possible that the erosion appeared before infection with the virus (I played sports and constantly used tampons)? Is it possible to vaccinate with Cervarix if, God willing, the results for the virus are negative within a year? What is my condition? What do you think I should do? I started having sex 4.5 months ago. And I am very worried. I appreciate any help you can provide.

HPV transmits sexually. We cannot eliminate viruses because researchers have not yet invented antiviral antibiotics. Therefore, virus carriers undergo annual examinations that include colposcopy and cytological smears. Statistically, 80% of patients experience cervical erosion during their first CA125 treatment with the most modern radiological methods. Meanwhile, 20% of patients require repeated cauterization. We only administer HPV vaccinations with the Gardasil vaccine to individuals who do not have infections with virus types 6, 11, 16, and 18. You have nothing life-threatening. So, please don’t worry too much.

Hello!I received a diagnosis of Strain 18 and developed stage 1 dysplasia as a result. My doctor prescribed immunomodulators and antivirals for 2 months. My partner has no symptoms. 1) Can he infect me with this virus again after my treatment (I can’t understand this at all – it’s incurable anyway).

I understand that the virus can still activate in my body when my immunity is low, under stress, or in other similar situations. Does it require any treatment? The gynecologist mentioned that they could inject me with cyclotron, but I’m unsure if that is necessary.

Please help me figure this out! I appreciate any help you can provide.

Gynecologist Mary Goldberg

Dear Dana, your partner is certainly infected, but it poses NO threat to him. You are also right that it is not treatable because there are no antiviral “antibiotics” yet. All the prescribed drugs can only strengthen your antiviral immunity. You will remain a virus carrier for life (reinfection is not an option). Get a colposcopy once a year and take smears for cytology. If dysplasia progresses, you will need cervical colonization. If it does not progress, you can simply be monitored.

Your opinion:

Hello!

I decided to ask the forum members’ opinions. This topic has already been talked about.

I’m in a bit of shock. I’ve only had one partner in my life. We lived together for three years, then broke up. Everything was fine in terms of cleanliness.

But the last time the gynaecologist “made me happy.

My CA125 gynecologist demonstrates excellent human qualities; she reassures me that this is not the most terrible disease and that I can correct it with immunomodulators advising me not to torment myself. However, I left feeling as if I had received a very shameful diagnosis.

I got treatment. Naturally, the papillomavirus will remain in the blood forever.

So, what’s your opinion, girls? Is this something “terrible” or actually “not the worst”?

A girl I know also received a CA125 diagnosis of this virus; she worries a lot and periodically undergoes treatment. Additionally, she has a permanent partner.

Thus, it turns out that such diseases no longer belong only to those who lead a disorderly lifestyle, as people previously believed.

Furthermore, on the forum, someone once said, “I don’t even trust myself with STDs.” Consequently, it seems that the opportunity to discover these “gifts” is vast.

However, I have digressed from my original question: Is the human papillomavirus serious?
