@Comm3724Moalosi There is no cure for the virus itself, but many HPV infections go away on their own.About 70 to 90 percent of cases of HPV infection are cleared from the body by the immune system. When treatment is needed, the goal is to relieve symptoms by removing any visible warts
Signs and symptoms of HPV are shown on the picture:
.Sometimes no symptoms, that is in HPV that usually clears on its own
. Genital Warts
. Itching on the genitals
Ever experienced this symptoms after unprotected sex..might be HPV..get tested
@RamapepeCom3724 @ThoahlaneComm31 The vaccine protects against 90% of the HPV strains that cause genital warts. But there are lots of different strains of HPV and the vaccine cannot protect against them all.
Reducing HPV risks
. Get vaccinated, around age 12,you can get vaccinated up to age 45
.Avoiding sexual contact with the partner if warts are present
.Using condoms correctly and consisntently
I will go in details abt HPV on my podcast "The Voice, ur health..ur responsibility"
