How the HPV and infection methods are transmitted

On earth, about 80% of the population is infected with human papillomavirus.Since not only can harmless papillomas appear due to the HPV infection on the body, but also of the condition, as well as the extensions that can be evil, it is very important to know how the HPV is transmitted.Perhaps this knowledge will help someone avoid infection and protect themselves from dangerous diseases such as uterine neck cancer, vulva, vagina, anal, penis and even mammary gland.In the article we will talk about HPV: how they are transmitted, risk factors and preventive measures.

How is human papillomavirus transmitted?

To begin with, it is worth saying that the papilloma is transmitted through the epidermis and saliva.At the same time, for some time the infection may not be felt and manifested by the formation of an omen and papilloma only with a decrease in immunity.

If we talk about how the papilloma virus is transmitted, then the probability of infection in the presence of damage, scratches and abrasions on the skin has significantly increased.

Attention!Many people are interested in the fact that the papilloma is inherited.Answer, no.Just when one of the family members is infected, the papilloma virus is transmitted in everyday life or from mother to child during childbirth.

The following ways are known to transmit a viral infection from humans to the person:

1. In a domestic way, that is, through the touch, the articles for the common house, the clothes is transmitted.The transmission of the infection can occur through a kiss.
2. If a person has genital papillomas, the transmission could take place sexually, that is, during unprotected sex.
3. The car -extension is possible with shaving, hair removal and other skin lesions.Since the papilloma is contagious for the surrounding healthy cells, the person himself can transfer the body from patients with the body to healthy ones.
4. A vertical way of infection is the transfer of infection from mother to child during birth.
5. Much less often, the infection occurs during the transfusion of donor blood, during the ready removal of the neoplasms caused by the HPV.Even the infection is not excluded in cosmetic salons, manicure rooms, bathrooms, saunas and swimming pools, where the aseptic rules are neglected.

If we talk about how you can be infected with the papilloma, in 70 % of cases of sexual infection the culprit is a man.In the presence of an epithelial neoplasm on the lips or genitals, the probability of infection is almost 90%.It is also worth considering that the presence of a condom, although it reduces the risk of infection, does not yet guarantee 100 %protection, since the HPV can penetrate through the microtrauma on the skin of the hands and other parts of the body.In addition, the condition can be located in the groin or in the pubic part, where condom will not protect against direct contact with the partner.

Important!If one of the partners is the vector of the virus, but has no papillomas, warts or conditions, the risk of infection of the second partner is significantly reduced.

If you lisate all the methods, how to be infected with a newborn papillomavirus, it is unlikely that the infection in the intrauterine period is not penetrating, since the virus does not penetrate the blood and the fetus is protected reliably from amniotic fluids, a bubble and a placenta.However, in medical practice, rare cases of intrauterine infection were recorded in case of damage to the placenta and fetal bladder.

It is very important for women who plan a pregnancy to know if the child's father is contrast and if he can transmit the infection of the future mother, since the genital effects that have appeared during pregnancy are very dangerous for the child.In the case of the child's infection during childbirth, there is a threat of larynx papillomatosis and subsequent suffocation.Since the infection is transmitted through saliva, it is important to take into account the presence of a man in papillomas, garrisons and warts in the mouth and on the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, because an infection of a woman with oral caresses can occur.

If one of the family members has papilloma, since it is transmitted in everyday life, it is important that all families know:

• Through general bed linen, towels, soap, cosmetics, canvas and other personal things, the virus can penetrate the microtrauma on the skin;
• The infection through saliva is possible when using a toothbrush, glasses or other dishes;
• In addition, infections are also possible through clothes and other home articles.

Risk factors

We understood how to be infected by the human papillomavirus, but it is no less important to know, not only the ways to transmit the infection, but also the risk factors for the infection from Papillomavirus.

Therefore, human papillomavirus will be much easier to penetrate the skin and mucous membranes against the background of the following provocative factors:

1. In men, children and women, infection is most likely in the background of reduced immunity.This can be facilitated by a cold or a common angina.

2. The risk of HPV infection increases with a violation of the microflora of the intestine or vagina.In the first case, general immunity suffers, in the second case, the local protective forces of the body are reduced and the probability of infection has increased.
3. Sexual infection paths are often the cause of the infection against the background of other sexual transmission diseases (syphilis, gonorrhea, tricomonosis).
4. Any transmission method can be potentially dangerous for a person against the background of an exacerbation of a chronic disease, when the body is weakened by the disease.
5. There is no doubt if the papilloma is contagious.The virus can easily penetrate the carrier into the cell of a healthy person if his defenses are weakened by stress, a rupture of strength, overflow or depression.

Important!All viruses are easier for men and women who have bad habits (smoke, alcohol).The risk of infection in women who assume combined contraceptives also increases significantly.

The predisposing factors for the sexual transmission of the virus are the following states and diseases:

• Previously, the beginning of sexual activity;
• prostitution;
• frequent change of sexual partners;
• illegible sex life;
• History of sexual transmission diseases;
• age of over 35 years;
• Cervix pathology;
• States of immunodeficiency.

Prevention

We understood how the human papillomavirus (women, men and children) is transmitted, now it remains to be considered preventive measures.It is worth saying immediately that the most effective way, how not to infect, is a preventive vaccination.To date, two types of vaccines from this infection are known.They protect against the most dangerous viral viral strains of cancer.However, the high efficiency of this protection is observed only during vaccination at an early age, before entering a sexual life or until one of the HPV strains is infected.

As for other prevention methods, the rules of hygiene, the use of a condoms, selective sex life and the refusal of bad habits have not been canceled.It is useful to support the fortress of the immune system: eating, hardening, doing sports, walking in the fresh air, drinking periodically vitamins.
