CAN YOU BE CURED FROM CERVICAL HPV?

HI,

I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW IF ONCE YOU HAVE HPV ON YOUR CERVIX REMOVED COMPLETELY AND THERE HAS BEEN NO SIGN OF IT AFTER 2 TO 4 YRS AND PAPS ARE COMING BACK NORMAL, IS IT SAFE TO SAY IT IS GONE. IS IT POSSIBLE THE DOCTOR REMOVED IT ALL? CAN I HAVE A HEALTHY LOVE LIFE WITH A PARTNER I WOULD LIKE TO SETTLE DOWN WITH WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A FAMILY. I WOULD NOT LIKE TO GIVE IT TO MY PARTNER DURING INTIMACY.

I hate to break this to you, but once you're infected, you'll always be infected with HPV, and will most likely infect your serious partners with the virus as well.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE. HOW IS IT PASSED SO IS IT LAYING DORMANT NOW IN MY SYSTEM? PAP SMEARS HAVE COME BACK NORMAL FOR SOMETIME NOW. I'M ASHAMED TO ASK MY GYN THESE QUESTIONS BUT CAN I SPREAD IT IF SOMEONE HAS ORAL SEX WITH ME?

Copperfire> You've got it right: the virus is lying dormant in your body... And if your partner and you have been having unprotected sex for some time now, he is probably already infected. As for passing the virus through oral sex... I have read that if the person has gential warts, it is possible to get oral warts from oral sex... So I guess it is possible for such a transmission to take place...

HI RAVEN,
ACTUALLY I WENT AHEAD AND CALLED A GYN AND ASKED AND SHE TOLD ME THERE WOULD BE A VERY LOW CHANCE OF ME SPREADING THE DISEASE THROUGH ORAL SEX BEING THAT MY LAST 4 PAPS IN 4 YRS HAVE BEEN NORMAL SHE RECOMMENDED THAT I CONTINUE TO GET MY PAPS ON TIME EVERY YEAR AND WHEN WE ARE READY TO HAVE A CHILD TO COME IN AND SEE HER...SO THERE IS LIFE AFTER HPV. BY THE WAY WE ARE A LESBIAN COUPLE. I GOT THE DISEASE AS A TEENAGER BEFORE I DISCOVERED MYSELF...THINGS HAPPEN BUT SAFE SEX IS IMPORTANT.THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR IMPUT YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR GYN FOR MORE IMPUT I WAS AFRAID TO BUT I DID AND GOT ANSWERS. AND GETTING HPV ON YOUR CERVIX CAN TURN INTO CANCER SO YOU SHOULD REALLY LOOK INTO THE REMOVAL TREATMENT. GOODLUCK TO YOU.
