7 perguntas sobre HPV

Inimigo oculto da saúde, o vírus pode ficar anos sem se manifestar. Justamente aí mora o perigo: ao ser detectado, os estragos já são grandes demais. E sua ocorrência tem aumentado: a cada ano o Ministério da Saúde registra mais de 100 mil novos casos no país


O que é HPV?
É a sigla para designar o papiloma vírus humano, um grupo de mais de 100 vírus que infecta homens e mulheres em idade sexualmente ativa.
Como se transmite?
O HPV é considerado uma DST (doença sexualmente transmissível), resume a ginecologista Rosa Maria Neme, de São Paulo. Não é preciso haver penetração, basta um contato mais íntimo.
O contágio de mãe para filho durante o parto também ocorre. Já as chances de se contaminar de outro modo (como beijos e roupa íntima partilhadas com portadores do vírus) são mínimas, mas não impossíveis.
O HPV instala-se no organismo e se manifesta quando o sistema imunológico está enfraquecido, explica a terapeuta ortomolecular Nia Valezzi, de São Paulo. Em geral, o período de incubação vai de três semanas a oito meses, mas o HPV pode ficar latente por mais de 15 anos.
Como descobrir?
Nem sempre a pessoa apresenta sintomas, no máximo coceira e corrimento. Mas o sinal característico da presença do intruso são verrugas de cor esbranquiçada ou cinza, parecidas com uma couve-flor, que afetam órgãos genitais e ânus ¿ raramente acometem pés, mãos, laringe e outras regiões.
As lesões podem ser observadas por meio de exame ginecológico (Papanicolau, colposcopia e vulvoscopia) e urológico (peniscopia). E para saber com certeza qual é o tipo de vírus entram em cena exames sofisticados, como o Sistema de Captura Híbrida (HCS) e a Reação em Cadeia de Polimerase (PCR).







Qual é o tratamento?
Além do uso de medicamentos tópicos e orais, costuma-se indicar ácidos ou laser para cauterizar as verrugas. Dependendo da extensão, pode ser necessária a retirada cirúrgica da área afetada, esclarece o ginecologista Luiz Fernando Dale, do Rio de Janeiro.
Quais são as consequências?
As verrugas, quando visíveis, representam um estágio avançado da doença, afirma Luiz Fernando Dale. E este é o maior perigo. No caso dos tipos de alto risco, que agem de maneira silenciosa no organismo, o HPV pode causar o câncer de colo de útero a longo prazo, alerta Rosa Maria Neme. No homem , as lesões podem provocar câncer de pênis e ânus, completa Luiz Fernando Dale.


Como é a prevenção?
Para evitar a contaminação, o uso da camisinha é fundamental. Consultas com ginecologista e exames anuais, como o papanicolaou, também são medidas preventivas.
Tomar vacina adianta?
A anti-HPV não previne contra todos os tipos do vírus, apenas os mais preocupantes. Há duas vacinas comercializadas no Brasil. A principal atua contra HPV-16 e HPV-18, presentes em 70% dos casos de câncer de colo do útero, e contra HPV- 6 e HPV-11, que aparecem em 90% das verrugas, explica a ginecologista Rosa Maria Neme.





Indicada para imunizar principalmente homens e mulheres entre 12 e 29 anos, ela estimula a produção de anticorpos específicos para cada HPV. A proteção vai depender da quantidade de anticorpos fabricados pela pessoa vacinada, da presença deles no local da infecção e da sua persistência durante um longo período de tempo, conclui a médica, citando que o real impacto da vacinação só poderá ser observado daqui a algumas décadas.

  1. The herpes simplex virus is a contagious virus 
    that can be  
    passed from person to person through direct 
    contact. 
    Children will often contract HSV-1 from early 
    contact with 
    an infected adult. They then carry the virus with 
    them for 
    the rest of their life. 
    Infection with HSV-1 can happen from general 
    interactions 
    such as eating from the same utensils, sharing 
    lip balm, or 
    kissing. The virus spreads more quickly when an 
    infected 
    person is experiencing an outbreak. Additionally, 
    it is 
    possible to get genital herpes from HSV-1 if the 
    individual 
    has had cold sores and performed sexual 
    activities during 
    that time. 
    HSV-2 is contracted through forms of sexual 
    contact with a 
    person who has HSV-2. It is estimated that  around 20  
    percent of sexually active adults within the 
    United States 
    have been infected with HSV-2, according to the 
    American 
    Academy of Dermatology (AAD). ( AAD ) While 
    HSV-2 
    infections are spread by coming into contact 
    with a herpes 
    sore, the AAD reports that most people get 
    HSV-1 from an 
    infected person who is asymptomatic, or does 
    not have 
    sores. 
    having multiple sex partners 
    being female 
    having another sexually transmitted infection 
    (STI)
