HPV virus can stick to the mouth and hand

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical or cervical cancer. One of the transmissions of this virus is through sexual intercourse.

Apparently, the virus can also stick in other body parts such as hands and mouth.

Chairman of Indonesia Gynecology Oncology Association, Prof. dr. Andrijono SpOG (K) has done a simple research to see if the virus can develop elsewhere.

There are two possibilities when the HPV virus enters the body, which is self-immune because of its prime immunity; and develop into cervical cancer.

"Apparently, HPV virus found in the hands and mouths in 20 percent of patients with cervical cancer," said Professor. Andri in Ngobras Forum discussion, Friday 19 January 2018.

Possibly, according to him, the patient is not clean in washing hands and germs into the mouth while eating by hand.

That is, the virus can also spread by other means than sexual intercourse, such as oral sex or touch objects that have been contaminated with the virus.
