Is HPV a bad virus or more of a common annoyance?
So I been talkin to this girl and the question came up about her past I asked her if she ever been tested she said she had HPV. So I looked it up and info isn’t too clear other than like 60% of women have it I donno, so does anyone know what it is and how contagious/serious it is?
It’s pretty serious. HPV can lead to cervical cancer. Guys cannot get tested for HPV, so you’ll never know if you have it, because it doesn’t do anything to you, but if you have unprotected sex with HPV, you’ll give it to the girl. And if a girl has it, she could have to have cells removed so she doesnt get cervical cancer. Bottom line: Wear a condom.
Well for women HPV can be very serious, because it can cause cervical cancer. But it also can be an annoyance for woman as well, because depending on what type of HPV, it can cause genital warts.
Most males will never know if they have HPV, depending on the type of virus males can get genital warts, and it becomes an annoyance. Other than being an annoyance it doesn’t cause any other problems known to date.
The virus is a life long virus, and she will never get rid of it. If you get it, then you will have it for the rest of your life as well.
Most sexually active adults have HPV and never know it. Most will live their lives and never have any type of problems with it. On the other hand, some will. I have HPV and I am a male. It is nothing but an annoyance for me.
For the women that have needs to make sure they have a pap test every year to make sure that signs of cervical cancer hasn’t progressed.
A woman can have HPV for 10-15 years and never have and signs of cervical cancer, but the virus is still there and it can still cause cancer.
For some reason people think this virus goes away and it doesn’t. Some also think that it is herpes, and it’s not.

Girls can die if they get it.
