Nothing super effective but you can support your immune system, which needs to fight it. Eat healthy, exercise, don't smoke, don't drink, take immune support supplements.

A holistic PCP I was dating told me to take green tea extract (EGCg) and I found this study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3315882/

I take 800 MG in the morning and 400 MG at night. I am still testing positive though. It's only been a couple months. From the study, it seems like its more to prevent cancer, not necessarily to clear the virus.

I'm sorry there aren't more things we can do. I have 18 or 45. Tested positive in October and my partner is afraid to touch me. He's also afraid of needles, so he hasn't started vaccination.

From your profile, it looks like you have had it for 3 years, is that correct?

Thank you. I got a leep done last summer and I’m still testing positive

I have a colposcopy scheduled for next month

Yes I was first diagnosed in 2019

And I didn’t know what it was at all so I thought I was going to die right away

It also doesn’t help that I’m a hypochondriac but otherwise healthy

I’m hoping my body can clear it but I’ve read 2-3 years to clear but I’m already there and no luck

I recommend your partner get the vaccine. I got mine afterwards I didn’t know there was one before I was diagnosed

Yeah, unfortunately if it takes longer than 2 years, it usually means it's a permanent part of your DNA. I believe there is a DNA test for that you can ask for. It still doesn't mean you will get cancer. Especially if you take that green tea extract and don't smoke, sounds like.

I didn't find out about the vaccine until I was too old for insurance to cover it. I have now got 2 of 3 doses so I am protected from the other strains.

He says he is working on being able to handle it, but he hasn't even been vaccinated against covid yet because of his needle trauma. That comes first...

Yeah I understand. It can be hard

He uses gloves to touch me. :/

Which is highly unnecessary. But it's his body.

I made sure I got my son vaccinated and he’s only 11

They actually include it with his other shots. I wished I had done the same but I was in another country at the time

I’ve had abnormal smears for 3 years but negative for cancer 🙏 so hopefully that continues. I’m just worried the longer it lives on the body the more of a chance

One thing I want to ask my doctor is if I wanna have another child will the hpv be passed to them?

So I’ll see what she says in June

As far as I know, yes it might be passed to the baby during vaginal birth. You could have a c-section to prevent this.

Thank you for getting your son vaccinated. It's so frustrating that there is no test for men. I also get upset that some parents refuse the vaccine because they don't think their kids will have sex. That's what my mom did. I finally told her that she endangered me with her prudish thinking. She apologized and said, "I didn't know you'd be SO sexually active". I told her it doesn't matter and that she has probably had it too.

I agree! And I try to tell young people (when appropriate) about the vaccine.

Can one u message me plz
