HPV positive male

There are many kinds of viruses in the male body, because the health condition of each male body is different. The situation of viral infection invasion also has its own characteristics. For example, male HPV positive is a disease that is cross-infected by sexual behavior. To treat this disease, you need to use topical medication or oral medication. But what should men do if they are HPV positive?

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a virus that can cause cancer. Female infection with high-risk HPV is directly related to the occurrence of cervical cancer. With the popularization of knowledge about cervical cancer, everyone is familiar with HPV infection in women, and they all know the important role of HPV vaccine in women's health. The popularization of health knowledge has enhanced everyone's health awareness, but sometimes it also brings side effects. For example, HPV, everyone will unconsciously associate it with cancer and unclean sexual behavior, causing panic and suspicion. However, in reality, the vast majority of adults who have had sexual behavior have been infected with HPV, and even regular sexual partners are also likely to be infected. Therefore, a positive HPV test is not uncommon and is not terrible.

When a woman tests positive for HPV, does her male partner need to be tested?

The answer is yes. When a woman tests positive for HPV, her male spouse should of course be tested. The method of testing is to use a sterile cotton swab to take samples from the coronary sulcus and urethra for testing in order to determine whether there is a high-risk infection of type 16 or 18.

How should men be treated if they test positive for HPV?

The answer is to treat by doing nothing, that is, no treatment is needed. HPV is a virus, and the "anti-inflammatory drugs" we often talk about have no effect on it. So far, there is no specific drug to treat HPV. The effects of interferons, antiviral drugs or Chinese patent medicines are not certain and can only be used as auxiliary. What really kills the HPV virus is our own immunity. In healthy people with normal immunity, 91% of HPV infections can be cleared by the body within 2 years. Of course, people with immune deficiencies do not have the relevant ability.

Finally, we would like to emphasize that although there is no need to panic about HPV, we must clearly realize that multiple sexual partners and unclean sexual behavior are high-risk factors for HPV infection. The consequences of these behaviors are by no means as simple as HPV infection. They not only harm oneself but also endanger one's family. We hope that men will think twice before acting and keep themselves clean.
