+ You will never have that same strand of virus again
+ Studies show that (high risk) can be cleared up on it's own. General rule of thumb - 3 negative pap test results means it has cleared up.
+ You will be more careful since you have first hand experience with an STD.


- High risk could cause cancer if not taken care of
- Your self esteem, although, HPV doesn't have to be that bad
- Having to tell other people in new relationships

There does not seem to be any positive outcome by having HPV virus. (Human Papilloma Virus)

However the negatives include:
-Depending on location of infection and type of virus
>Extra growths
>Pain
>Bacterial Infections
>Increased risk of malignancy (cancer)

Is there ever a positive of having a virus? This can be taken of if you have your yearly exam and it is caught in time, there is a positive.
