I have gotten 2 out of the three shots for the HPV vaccine. I haven’t gotten the 3rd one yet because I keep missing my appointment. Am I semi-protected or not at all?
Thanks!
What Is Hpv And What Happens After They Perform A Biopsy On You ?
October 6, 2009 By 12 Comments
^^ VERY WRONG! HPV is NOT cervical cancer itself.
Clo … HPV is the nickname for “human papillomavirus”. It actually is a group of over 100 infections and the majority of them have no symptoms at all. About 1/3 of them are sexually transmitted.
The reason we’re hearing so much about it lately is that they now know some forms of it cause ALL forms of cervical cancer. This is why they are pushing for young girls to get vaccinated now that they have one available.
After they perform a biopsy they will let the patient know whether they have it or not. If it’s negative – nothing to worry about. It it’s positive you must always be certain to have an annual PAP to watch for signs of changing cells or cancer.
Of course it isn’t anything you’d want to have if you have a choice … but it isn’t the worst thing either. The good news is that HPV can actually “go away”. If you take care of yourself and keep your immune system strong your body can actually overcome the disease and you can be HPV free.
If you have any other questions please email me … anytime!

Edit: By the way .. men can ALSO get HPV, but unfortunately there is no test for men. This is not good because men can actually get penile cancer from HPV as well. If their partner has it they should always be wary of any changes in their body and have annual check ups.
