Is HPV16 still contagious after 20 years?

HPV16 positive, no matter how long it can be transmitted to sexual partners through sexual life. In general, HPV16 positive and cervical cancer are closely related, and its length and infectivity are not associated. As long as HPV16 positive, it can cause a high incidence of cervical cancer in sexual partners. The longer the positive time, the more persistent the effect on the cervix, the higher the incidence of cervical cancer. Therefore, if HPV16 positive is shown, it is necessary to be alert to the occurrence of cervical cancer and should strengthen its screening for cervical cancer. If HPV16 is positive, colposcopy should be performed to understand the extent of cervical lesions. Patients should exercise as much as possible to increase resistance, and if necessary, according to cervical pathology, early detection and early treatment of cervical lesions.
