Does HPV11 positive require treatment?

Many patients are very worried after finding out that they have been infected with the low-risk HPV11, fearing that the low-risk HPV11 positive test will not turn negative. Regarding this matter, experts say that patients do not need to worry too much. Timely treatment is the most important thing. At the same time, there are conditions to get the nine-valent HPV vaccine to prevent cross-infection of the virus, enhance their own immunity, speed up the process of HPV turning negative, and promptly prevent the virus type that has not been infected.

1. Does HPV11 positive require medical treatment?

HPV11 is positive, which clinically mainly causes genital warts in the genitals. If the test is simply positive but no corresponding symptoms are caused clinically, for example, no genital warts are found in the private parts, vagina, or cervix, no treatment is required and clinical observation is required. Because some people who test positive for HPV11 can have a dangerous period of up to 4 months, that is, they are infected with this virus but have no clinical symptoms, and symptoms may not appear until four months later. Therefore, in this case, a gynecological examination should be done every two months and four months, mainly to understand whether there are genital warts in the vaginal mucosa, cervical mucosa, and private mucosa.

2. Can HPV11 positive turn negative?

HPV viruses are divided into low-risk skin type, high-risk skin type, low-risk mucosal type, and high-risk mucosal type according to the location of the invaded body tissues. The disease caused by HPV11 positive is genital warts. Genital warts are a type of reproductive tract infection that is very common nowadays. This type of disease has the characteristics of easy occurrence, easy infection, and great harm. After being infected with genital warts, the most important thing is to receive treatment in time.

3. How is HPV virus tested?

1. The process of HPV testing is not complicated. Generally, you only need to do a routine blood test and a cervical smear test to determine whether the HPV virus exists in the body. The HPV virus does not exist in the blood or cervix, but in the patient's femoral nerves. Therefore, blood and cervical smear tests can only determine whether the patient is infected with the HPV virus. The test results only show whether the HPV virus is negative or positive, but cannot determine the type and composition of the HPV virus. Therefore, if you want to know which type of HPV virus you are infected with, you still need to do further quantitative analysis and testing to determine the infection.

2. It is best to go to a professional hospital for HPV testing, because if you test HPV virus in an ordinary small hospital, as mentioned above, it can only test negative or positive, but cannot do quantitative testing to determine the virus infection. Some clinics even need to send the test samples to large hospitals, where they are tested and then sent back home, which is a very time-consuming thing. And local disease control centers, or STD clinics, these types of clinics have more advanced HPV virus diagnosis and treatment technologies, so they can detect HPV quickly, the accuracy of the tests, and the speed of treatment are all relatively fast.
