In accordance with Mayra Galindo de Mares , president of the Mexican Association for the Fight against Cancer , there are several myths around HPV that should be eliminated:
1.- Rare: Galindo de Mares ensures that 80% of women will ever have an infection with the Human Papilloma Virus (risk factor for developing cervical cancer).
2.- Multiple couples: Another misconception is that only women who have multiple partners are at risk of acquiring HPV, but cervical cancer is also detected in monogamous women.
3.- Condoms: Recent research shows that condoms do not offer complete protection against HPV, but its use is important to prevent infections such as HIV / AIDS.
4.- Vaccine: Today it is possible to halve the number of deaths from cervical cancer if the vaccine against Human Papilloma Virus is applied to adolescents between 12 and 16 years old, and new methods are used to diagnose precancerous lesions more quickly. and efficiency.
5.- Immune system: It is a mistake to think that most women with HPV infection will not develop cervical cancer, because the immune system is able to eliminate the virus. Some women may develop the disease if the infection persists.
6.- Contagion: The scientific evidence maintains that the only mode of transmission of HPV is intimate contact and not through the exchange of towels or wet scrubs that have contact with the genital area, or in public restrooms.
7.- Treatments: There is no treatment against HPV, only against injuries. HPV infection goes unnoticed. Only through the capture of hybrids can you know if the person is infected with HPV.
8.- Symptom: Injuries (warts) are the clinical manifestation of HPV; however, the infection can occur without the presence of lesions. The only way to detect HPV is through the capture of hybrids as long as it is more than 35 years old, since it is not indicated to do it to people under 25 years of age.
9.- Carriers: Men are known as carriers of HPV, their damage is less than that of women because the genitals are external, any lesion is detected and treated in time, unlike the woman who must be checked by a doctor.
10.- Transmission: Human papillomavirus is transmitted when contact is made with the infected area, that is, in the case of HPV of the cervix. There is no scientific evidence that HPV infection is transmitted in any other way. This infection is not transmitted by body fluids such as sweat, saliva, semen, etc.
A survey conducted by GSK He pointed out that 56% of Mexican women are more concerned about their work than about the risk of cervical cancer, which makes it difficult to keep abreast of their periodic reviews and the importance of prevention. And you, do you check yourself every year?
