HPV prevention?

I work in a pregnancy resource center and have a new client with HPV. Is there a cleaner that will kill this virus on counter tops and such. We noticed she did not wash her hands after going to the bathroom and touched everything..her boyfriend did the same thing....

HPV prevention?
HPV does shed its viral particles and there is a slim chance that while this young woman or her partner went to the potty he/she touched there genital area and the virus shed to her hands which shed to your counter.





You or one of your office personal would have needed to touch the counter...have the virus transmit to your hands and you then went to the bathroom and touched your genital areas and this genital area had some sort of micro-abrasion that allowed the virus to enter your genital area...





Possible...maybe...???





Genital HPV types are transmitted primarily through sex and hand to genital foreplay. While formit transfer cannot be ruled out it is pretty rare.





Clean your counters with a good counter cleaner...
Reply:I am in the medical field and unfortunately she did not wash her hands, but as well.....you can only catch this by flesh to flesh infected contact in the unspeakable region of your body. You cannot catch this from any other.
Reply:There's no cure for HPV infection. In most cases, your immune system rids your body of the virus, and warts often go away without treatment.





A number of treatments — applied at home or performed by a doctor — are available to remove warts. These treatments appear to reduce the concentration of HPV, but they don't eliminate the virus. For example, even though you may have genital warts removed, you can still transmit HPV to a sexual partner.





Genital warts


Treatments for genital warts include:





Imiquimod (Aldara), a prescription medication applied as a cream that may enhance your immune system's ability to fight HPV


Podofilox (Condylox), also applied as a cream, which may destroy the genital wart tissue


Trichloroacetic acid, a chemical treatment that burns off genital warts


Freezing with liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy)


Electrocautery, which uses an electrical current to burn off warts


Surgical removal


Laser surgery


Treatments for high-grade pre-malignant lesions


Your doctor will most likely not treat low-grade pre-malignant lesions, because they're likely to go away on their own and not develop into cancer. However, you'll need to return for follow-up Pap tests to make sure the problem has resolved.





Your doctor will most likely recommend removal of high-grade pre-malignant lesions, because they may develop into cancerous tumors. Treatments may include:





Cyrotherapy


Electrocautery


Surgical removal


Laser surgery


Treatments for other warts


Treatments for common plantar and flat warts include:





Salicylic acid, which removes layers of a wart a little bit at a time


Imiquimod (Aldara)


Cyrotherapy


Surgical removal


Laser surgery
