Is HPV16 highly contagious?

HPV16 refers to high-risk human papillomavirus type 16. HPV16 positivity is potentially contagious and there is a high chance that it can be transmitted through sexual intercourse.
High-risk HPV infection is now thought to be closely related to cervical cancer in women, so if you are HPV16 positive, it is important to have a cervical liquid-based cytology and colposcopy as soon as possible. The local tissues of the cervix are enlarged through colposcopy, and the suspicious area is selected for biopsy, so that it can be clarified whether there is precancerous lesion of the cervix or cervical cancer.
HPV16 can be sexually transmitted, that is, it can infect the partner through sexual intercourse. It is recommended that if a woman is HPV-positive, she must go to the hospital for timely consultation to avoid cervical lesions.
It is recommended to complete the HPV vaccination in time, avoid high-risk sex, and use condoms during sex. In daily life, you should also ensure nutritional intake, strengthen exercise and avoid staying up late, so as to improve immunity and reduce the risk of infection.
