We know someone that died from that over 2 years ago. He was married for 10 years, but we are certain his wife gave it to him. Before they got together she was very promiscuous. She was a bartender that "dated" a lot while he was getting his master's degree. (hardly dated) Now she is seeing another man and very serious. I'm wondering if he has a good chance to get it, or how that works. Would she even show up as a carrier? |
MYOB. Work on curing your ignorance and totally judgmental attitude. |
This, exactly. You sound like you really suck as a person. |
You basic understanding of how HPV is spread (maybe he gave it to her) and how cancer works is astounding. |
Work on pulling your head out. |
I'm sure its probably occurred to her to consult her doctor about that issue. |
First of all, MYOB. You have no idea how he acquired HPV and whether or not he caught it from his wife. You say he was an acquaintance so you really can't follow the path of infection here. Also, are you even sure it was caused by HPV? Not all throat cancer is.
In most people, HPV does not cause cancer and it clears up on its own after a short time. It's not like herpes or HIV which stays forever and ever. For unknown reasons, it becomes chronic in some people, eventually leading to cancer after years of an undetected infection. You have absolutely no way to know the health status of the widow, especially years after he died. He could have acquired the chronic infection 10 years ago while his wife recovered from it quickly. |
I know a similar couple. The woman cheated with a scumbag and after that her man (they live common law with a kid) got hpv - in the form of warts growing on his voice box. He has to get them removed every so often but his voice sounds like hell.
The Dr. diagnosed it as hpv. I without doubt think it's from doing oral on her (with active warts) after scumbag but who really knows. As for if her new squeeze could get it - according to std clinics if she was checked regularly and wart free for years it's reasonable to think it's not contagious or trabsferable anymore. |
Again, not how it works. Do you have sex? Please don't. |
This. Most people who get HPV clear the virus after a few months. It's actually pretty rare for the virus to become chronic and lead to cancer. |
|
Please don't procreate. You're an idiot. The virus can spread with or without genital warts. Pretty safe to say that an active outbreak of genital warts increases spreading. |
|
Not the PP, but I need to say that HPV is not like herpes. Please don't preach like it is. |
10% of the cases turn chronic fyi but the survival rate is pretty good unless a weakened immune system. If a smoker or drinker the survival rate is lower. |
