There is a worldwide consensus that there is a lack of effective antiviral treatment for HPV! Although there are a number of antiviral drugs on the market, including the “nucleoside” antivirals mentioned by some doctors, and also interferon, none of them are effective or even have any efficacy at all. No antiviral therapy has been developed specifically for HPV. Therefore, none of the guidelines for HPV prevention and treatment mention (or recommend) the use of any drugs to kill the HPV virus. Some patients who use antivirals will test negative for HPV in a few months, did the medication work? Some doctors and patients who use a certain drug and then test negative for HPV after a period of time assume that the virus has been killed by the drug. This statement is not scientific and rigorous. Most HPV can be killed by the body’s immunity after a period of time without any drug treatment. Therefore, those patients who are supposedly HPV negative after medication are most likely not the result of the medication, but simply the body’s own power to remove the virus. In fact, to prove whether a drug is effective is very simple, is to set up a control group of non-medicated patients in addition to the medicated patients. If the unmedicated patients also have a negative HPV test, then the drug is probably ineffective. Those drugs that claim to kill HPV, please show your clinical control trial data! Treatment after HPV infection is not about antiviral, but about blocking the escalation and progression of the lesion! Although there are no drugs to fight HPV, the lesions caused by HPV infection are treatable. For low-risk HPV infections, treatment is aimed at removing the infected lesions (removing the warts, not killing the virus directly!) In the case of high-risk HPV infection, the aim is to identify in time whether precancerous lesions (CIN) have occurred in the cervical cells, and to treat those who have already developed CIN accordingly. Therefore, although there is no cure for HPV, the lesions caused by HPV can be treated. HPV cannot be killed, but it can be prevented! The HPV vaccine is a good way to prevent infection, but it is not yet available in China. Healthy sexual behavior is also the key to preventing HPV. As for other ways, especially whether environmental exposure can be infected with HPV is still being studied. In short, HPV infection is not terrible, most of the infection can be cleared by autoimmunity; formal screening can detect precancerous lesions caused by HPV and interrupt them in time. Some medical institutions claim to “cure HPV” and “quickly kill HPV” is very unscientific and untrustworthy! I heard that some patients have spent more than 100,000 yuan to use “drugs to kill HPV”, which is even more sensational!
