Human pappilomavirus (HPV)
Recently I saw a short study on HPV. It was surprising, to say the least. Studies show that, among sexually active females, 80 percent come down with HPV. As far as I can tell, there is no related study among transgender persons, M to F or F to M. However, there would some items that would be wise:
1. If you are active sexually, or thinking about it, go to a doctor first. Be frank about it. Follow her/his advice.
2. If you are raising a transgender child, (and,yes, there are those) talk to the doctor about what advice you should give her/him. Ask what stages you should go through as she/he grows up.
3. If you or your partner already has HPV, ask what medication and timing will prevent it.
