The human papilloma virus (HPV) is sexually transmitted, and is unfortunately very common. If you were both molested by the same man and have had no other partners, it is likely that you both got the virus from him (assuming there was penetration involved). However, if you have had other sexual partners it's possible you got it from one of them. Many people (some studies say as many as 80%) carry this virus, even though it doesn't cause dysplasia in everyone. Once you get the virus it often doesn't go away, and it usually takes several years before you actually get dysplasia changes on your pap smear, sometimes as long as 10 years. Sorry you have to go through this, but stay on top of it so the bad cells can be taken care of and it won't progress to cancer! Good luck!

Talk to your doctor.  The HPV virus can lead to cancer, but it is not cancer.  Also, HPV can take up to ten years to lead to cancer.  It sounds like you need more information from your doctor.

here are the facts about cervical cancer\n\nCervical Cancer\n\n\nGeneral Information About Cervical Cancer \n\n\nCervical cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the cervix.\n\nThe cervix is the lower, narrow end of the uterus (the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a fetus grows). The cervix leads from the uterus to the vagina (birth canal).\n\nCervical cancer usually develops slowly over time. Before cancer appears in the cervix, the cells of the cervix go through changes known as dysplasia, in which cells that are not normal begin to appear in the cervical tissue. Later, cancer cells start to grow and spread more deeply into the cervix and to surrounding areas. \n\nHuman papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the major risk factor for development of cervical cancer.\n\nInfection of the cervix with human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common cause of cervical cancer. Not all women with HPV infection, however, will develop cervical cancer. Women who do not regularly have a Pap smear to detect HPV or abnormal cells in the cervix are at increased risk of cervical cancer.\n\nOther possible risk factors include the following: \n\nGiving birth to many children. \nHaving many sexual partners. \nHaving first sexual intercourse at a young age. \nSmoking cigarettes. \nOral contraceptive use ("the Pill"). \nWeakened immune system. \n\n\nCause \n\n\nCervical cancer is caused by severe abnormal changes in the cells of the cervix. Most precancerous or cancerous cell changes occur in the cervix at the transformation zone because these cells normally undergo constant change. During this natural process of change, some cervical cells can become abnormal, especially if you are infected with high-risk types of HPV.\n\nOther factors that may play a role in causing cervical cancer include:\n\nSmoking or a history of smoking. \nHaving an impaired immune system, such as from having human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). \nUsing birth control pills for more than 5 years. This may be related to infection with HPV.2 \nRegular Pap test screening is the single most important tool to identify cervical cell changes early before they progress to cancer.\n\nNo they don't cause cancer.

Common warts are caused by a virus, the human papilloma virus.  This is the same virus that causes cervical cancer, but only strains 16 and 18 cause cancer, the rest just cause warts.  They are spread by touching someone and spreading the virus.  The virus can live for a few minutes on towels, etc, so if you share with people it can be spread that way also.

It is a virus that causes genital warts, cervical cancer, rectal cancer in those on the receiving end of sodomy, and rarely penile cancer.  There is no cure, but the body seems to usually gradually mount an immune defense that stops the warts from breaking out.  Until then, the warts are destroyed by chemical acid application (podophyllin), by freezing, by electrocautery, or by resection.  The cervical cancer is watched for by doing yearly if not more often, if it is abnormal, pap smears.  Digital exams and proctoscopy are needed to watch for rectal cancer, if there was exposure there.  You can see the development of cancer on penis quite easily as it is in plain view.  I think they are working on a vaccine.  Happy Dreams!!

discovered?  has been described for centuries, women have died from this for most of history.\n\nDon't think there is a satisfactory answer for that.\n\nhow?  it was growing through her chest some time in 500BC, something like that.\n\nbest history of breast cancer can be found reading about Halsted, the father of modern surgery, and first man to improve survival in breast cancer patients.\n\nA great man, sorta, gotta read on this man to know anything about breast cancer.

AIDS is an STD, so it is spread primarily though sexual contact. It can also be bloodborne. Christopher Columbus is credited with discovering America, but the Vikings were trading in Canada 100 years before Columbus came along. Don't know about facsism except the name Mousolini in Italy comes to mind. His form of government appearently.Churchill was the prime minister of England during WW2. Haven't heard of Albret Ainstain. If you mean Albert Einstein, he headed up the Manhatten Project, which developed the first Atomic bomb.

Damn! This is a toughie! What class is this for?!\n Okay, White Blood Cells were discovered in 1922. That's the first link.\n I'm not sure they recorded this persons name.... it must be somewhere out there, but I can't find it. At least we got the year though.....

HPV is a sexually transmitted virus that can cause warts, an invisible infection only found on pap smear, or, in the worst case scenario, it can cause cervical cancer.  It is important for a woman to have pap smears every year and to keep the number of sexual partners to a minimum to reduce the risk of getting a dangerous strain of the virus.  Men obviously contract the virus too, but they can not be easily diagnosed if they do not have visible warts.  Condoms can reduce transmission, but are not perfect because the virus infects nearby skin too, not just the penus and vagina.

In 1928, bacteriologist Alexander Fleming made a chance discovery from an already discarded, contaminated Petri dish. The mold that had contaminated the experiment turned out to contain a powerful antibiotic, penicillin.\n\nRadium was discovered in 1898 by French physicist and Nobel laureate Marie Curie in pitchblende (a uranium and radium-bearing mineral).

According to the National Institute of Allergies & Infectious Diseases, Human Papillomavirus is among the most common causes of sexually transmitted infections in the world.(1) In the United States, it is estimated that there are more cases of genital human papillomavirus infections than any other sexually transmitted diseases; indeed, according to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 20 million people are currently infected and at least 50% of sexually active men and women acquire a genital HPV infection at some point in their lives. The CDC estimates that by age 50, at least 80% of women will have acquired a genital HPV infection, and about 6.2 million Americans get a new genital HPV infection each year.(2) \nThere are more than 100 different strains of HPV, as it is commonly referred to, most of which are harmless. However, an estimated 30 types of HPV are spread through sexual contact; some of which can cause genital warts.(3) Also called condylomata acuminata or venereal warts, genital warts typically appear in “clusters” of bumps. The warts can appear either as raised or flat and range in size from small to large. Common locations for the warts in women include the vulva, cervix, and inside and surrounding the vagina and anus. Genital warts typically appear on the scrotum or penis in men who are affected. The warts are highly contagious and can easily be spread during vaginal or anal sex with an infected partner. Rarely, genital warts also can develop in the mouth or throat after having oral sex with an infected partner. Genital HPV infections often do not have any symptoms; however, even without obvious symptoms, HPV can still be spread from partner to partner. \n\nWarts are usually diagnosed, even in absence of symptoms, by sight. Gynecologists can confirm the diagnosis in suspected cases by applying acetic acid (vinegar) to the infected areas, causing the areas to whiten and making the warts more visible. Abnormal Pap Smears can also result in the presence of a cervical HPV infection. \n\nThere is no cure for HPV. There are, however, treatments for the warts, including topical agents such as Imiquimod, Podophyllin Antimitotic solution, Podofilox, Fluorouracil cream and Trichloroacetic acid. Genital warts can also be removed surgically through cryosurgery, which freezes them, electrocautery, which burns them, or laser. As there is no cure for human papillomavirus, the warts may come back even after definitive treatment. \n\nHPV is more than just an STD. Some forms of the virus can actually can cause cancers of the cervix, vulva, anus, and penis.(4) Genital warts can also cause problems during pregnancy, ranging from vaginal obstruction to the development of warts in the throat of the infant (laryngeal papillomatosis).(5) Early diagnosis and intervention in a patient with genital warts are crucial for successful treatment. \nAccording to the University of Iowa Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, there are three ways to decrease exposure to HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases: use of condoms, which can lower the risks of exposure; monogamous relationships; and complete abstinence.(6) The University is currently conducting important research towards a possible vaccine through their study on HPV types 6, 11, 16, and 18.

There is no "cure" for HPV infection, although in most women the infection goes away on its own. The treatments provided are directed to the changes in the skin or mucous membrane caused by HPV infection, such as warts and pre-caMost women are diagnosed with HPV on the basis of abnormal Pap tests. A Pap test is the primary cancer-screening tool for cervical cancer or pre-cancerous changes in the cervix, many of which are related to HPV. Also, a specific test is available to detect HPV DNA in women. The test may be used in women with mild Pap test abnormalities, or in women >30 years of age at the time of Pap testing. The results of HPV DNA testing can help health care providers decide if further tests or treatment are necessary.\n\nNo HPV tests are available for men.\n\nncerous changes in the cervix
