Having HPV16 positive is contagious and patients should pay attention to it.
Patients seeking medical examination found that HPV16 positive indicates that the body is infected with HPV (human papillomavirus) type 16, which belongs to the high-risk type of human papillomavirus, and can cause vaginal and cervical intraepithelial lesions, and is related to the occurrence of cervical cancer. HPV is mainly transmitted through skin or mucous membrane contact, so HPV16 positive is contagious and needs to be taken seriously.
Currently, there is no specific treatment for HPV infection, so those who are clearly infected with HPV16 can follow the doctor’s instructions for symptomatic treatment, so as to control the progression of the disease.
Patients without obvious clinical manifestations can strengthen the exercise to improve their own immunity, most of the patients can clear the virus by themselves; patients with clinical manifestations can feasible physical therapy such as CO2 laser, liquid nitrogen freezing, and photodynamic therapy.
It is recommended that HPV16-positive people do further detailed examination to clarify the condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment. Because the disease is contagious, so patients should not be in close contact with others before clinical cure.
