Emerging Viruses If we compare the epidemic of genital condylomatosis with the AIDS one we can find some substantial differences. The HPV epidemic is caused by a virus that has been known for many years and isn’t mortal; the AIDS one is caused by a virus which was previously unknown and the subjects who are affected very often die. HPV is much more stable and may be transferred more easily than HIV.
Human Papillomavirus 4° Once again the study of what had happened in the past offered me, if not some solutions, at least some work hypotheses. The reference from the Human Papillomavirus to the spirochaeta of framboesia, the skin disease similar to leprosy, was immediate. Then it happened that the skin to skin contact favouring the spreading of framboesia, a cutaneous disease, was interrupted by the change in the habits.
Human Papillomavirus 3° Human Papillomavirus After confirming possible environmental sources[1],[2] for the Human Papillomavirus infection I couldn’t do but wait in order to understand whether such a transmission modality might be called upon in those cases of genital condylomatosis where the origin of the infection was otherwise inexplicable.
Human Papillomavirus 2° First of all I discovered some other colleagues in different parts of the world were starting thinking the existence of Human Papillomavirus environmental sources were possible. In favour of this hypothesis various cases of genital condylomata in children without any evidence of sexual abuses are reported[1],[2],[3],[4]. It was confirmed also by all a series of observations HPV can live in the evironment out of its hosts.
Human Papillomavirus “No effect is in nature without reason, you intend reason and you need no experience”. (Leonardo da Vinci[1]) (Human Papillomavirus) Some years ago I was for a short stay at Madonna di Campiglio, on the Dolomites. My ski instructor, during a lesson, suggested me a restaurant out of the town and I made a reservation for the same evening. It had been snowing nearly nonstop for some days, snow was really so much, the chalet of the restaurant very suggestive and all the atmosphere was magic.
