My girlfriend was diagnosed with HPV about 6 years ago. Since then I have been studying HPV extensively (human papilloma virus) and have been to several doctors and specialist. In doing so I noticed a ton of websites and even doctors giving wrong information about HPV!

I decided to put all my findings into video form and opened this youtube account where I will be discussing new findings and would like to make this page a forum for discussing the skin disease.

one MAJOR finding that most doctors and websites are still not aware of is that HPV is a major cause of Head and Neck Cancers (Mouth and Throat). Most websites, doctors and people are still under the impression that HPV only affects a womans cervix. WRONG! It affects BOTH men and women.

You can get it a number of ways, 1 being through oral sex. Condoms DO NOT protect against it. There are often no signs or symptoms and its extremely hard to test for. Men cannot be test at all. Most people have no idea they even have HPV! Its extemely deadly though and they say that about 80% of the US population will get at least 1 of the 100+ types of this contagious skin to skin contact disease at some point in their lives.

My hope is that after you watch this video you will be much better informed and will either prevent yourself from getting HPV or you will see doctors regularly to prevent yourself from developing the various types of cancer (throat, mouth, penile, vulva, cervical, and anal).

If you have confirmation that a gynecologist has found HPV during a PAP smear on you or your girlfriend, you need to also regularly see an ENT (Ear Nose & Throat) Doctor (costs about $250-$300 without insurance to have them check you out and put the scope down your throat that has the little camera on it) and an Oral Medicine Specialist (cost about $150 without insurance if you got to a college).

The THROAT cancer side of all this is the one that concerns me most, as there are NO Signs there is a problem! Even a dentist is not able to detect HPV in your throat. Only an ENT will be able to do so. Most people wait till there are symptoms or pain to see a doctor. DONT!!!! If you do, it will be too late. By then, the cancer will have spread to your nervous system (thus causing you pain) and by that time it can spread to any other major organ in your body. 50% of those diagnosed at this stage will die.

Oral cancer claims 10's of thousands of lives in the United States PER YEAR! And does NOT depend on age! You can get this at any time.

HPV is rampid. Protect yourself by either getting vaccinated or by seeing a doctor regularly (every 6 months to 1 year). Please post any questions that you have. Hope this helps! For more information, visit www.OralCancerFoundation.org

Update 2-20-11:
Great news! There has been an Oral Hpv test released!!!!! This is fantastic news because until now it's been a mystery as to whether or not you are infected in your mouth. The only way to know was to wait till it was too late. Go here for more info and to find a local dentist who can give you the test www.oraldna.com

  • Also High risk HPV does not mean you will get cancer , Thats why its called High Risk. Lifes a big risk every day that you wake up and go to work or whatever, just wanted to say that because this guy keeps saying it will cause cancer, Sorry but thats B.S !! And thats info from my ENT.

  • There are over 140 strains of HPV But the vaccine supposedly covers only a couple of strains, thats not worth all of the risky side effects associated with Gardasyl, Such as possible DEATH.

  • i have a wart they called it a popilloma and it si being cut out via my ent guy within two months

    if I have a wart on my soft pallete is this low risk please advise

    thank you

  • Awesome Information! Thank you soo much!

    It will help me A LOT on a school presentation I have over this disease!

  • virus are man made in the lab..... N.W.O

  • thank you so much for your dedication to this. Very helpful information.

  • wow so true

    

  • I want everyone to know that HPV is not only passed through sexual activity. There are children being born with this disease. My 12 yr old (good) granddaughter was just recently diagnosed with HPV of the mouth. This child has never had any sexual contact. The doctor said she was born with it. There are others out there and mothers are blaming themselves. Not their fault either, Doctors say that it has to do with their immunology makeup. Please do further searching on this subject.

  • If you or someone you know is living with HIV or other STDs, please come visit us at " herpesanddatin,.net " . You are MORE than your STD, so give yourself a chance to love again.
