How to live with HPV while caring for those around you?
To protect the people around you, it’s advisable to implement some habits that will give you peace of mind:
- Leading a healthy lifestyle to strengthen your immune system . This will help you fight the virus.
- If you have warts, visit your doctor to help you remove them. Warts are highly contagious. They can easily spread to other areas of your body or infect others. Direct contact with them is a source of contagion.
- Each person living with you can have their own personal hygiene products, soap, towel. This way, contact with infected areas can be avoided.
- Take precautions regarding the hygiene of your clothing. You only need to be especially careful when washing your or the infected person’s intimate garments. It is advisable to do it with hot water and give them a final rinse with a mixture of water and bleach to disinfect them. Remember that alcohol-based disinfectants are not effective in eliminating the virus from surfaces, clothing or objects.
- If bed linen and towels are shared, you should take special care in washing them.
- Sharing the use of the bathroom does not pose risks. However, for your peace of mind, you can also disinfect spaces using bleach. And also any personal use object, by wiping them with a cloth soaked in bleach.
- Discussing this issue with your partner, family or close people will help you overcome the physical and emotional discomforts that you may experience as a result of the virus.
Your life will continue as usual. Contact with your family doesn’t have to be interrupted. Hugs and kisses can be a great medicine and you shouldn’t worry about giving and receiving them.
