The purpose of NeuEve products is to relieve common vaginal discomforts such as dryness, atrophy, painful sex, and odor (BV). However, if you ask whether using NeuEve can clear HPV, we cannot provide a conclusive answer as we do not have specific data. That said, NeuEve may support vaginal health and a normal lactobacillus-dominant microbiome, which can help maintain overall vaginal wellness (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33251154/).
Below are two potential mechanisms by which NeuEve may support the body's natural ability to manage HPV:
- Supporting a Healthy Vaginal Environment: Women with BV have a threefold higher risk of contracting HPV-associated cervical cancer (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30550767/). NeuEve suppositories can help manage BV, potentially creating an environment that supports the body’s natural defenses. A healthy Lactobacillus population lowers vaginal pH, creating an acidic environment that can be inhospitable to pathogens. For postmenopausal women, NeuEve products may help maintain this balance.
- Boosting Host Immunity: NeuEve suppositories deliver micronutrients that may support the body's immune response, helping to block HPV from integrating into cell DNA (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34194585/). Regular use of NeuEve may help maintain a healthy vaginal environment.
The strength of NeuEve products varies (from mild to strong): Cream < Silk < Silver < Gold < BV Clear < BV Clear Finisher. Only NeuEve Silver, Gold, BV Clear, and BV Clear Finisher have notable potential for supporting the body’s natural management of HPV. Silk has less, and Cream has the least. If you are currently using Silk and seek additional benefits, you may consider progressing to a higher phase every 2-4 months. For women under 50 who are premenopausal, starting with NeuEve Silver and advancing every 2-3 months until reaching BV Clear Finisher or the highest tolerable phase may be beneficial. For women over 50, NeuEve Gold may be sufficient for maintaining vaginal health.
How to Monitor Your HPV Status
To determine if your HPV has cleared, you can perform an HPV test before and after using NeuEve.
For HPV testing, you can consider options such as Everlywell’s HPV test for females: Everlywell HPV Test.
If you are currently HPV positive, you may remain HPV positive in the future, especially if you are postmenopausal. After menopause, reduced vaginal estrogen leads to a decrease in vaginal lactobacilli, the beneficial bacteria that help maintain vaginal health. Without an effective intervention, HPV is likely to persist.
Suggested Testing Timeline
After using NeuEve Gold, consider retesting for HPV in one year. If your test result is negative, it may indicate an improvement in your HPV status. To maximize your chances, we recommend using NeuEve Silver or Gold consistently for at least 12 months before retesting.
Product Usage for Optimal Results
NeuEve BV Clear and BV Clear Finisher are more potent than NeuEve Gold and may provide additional support for maintaining vaginal health. These products have a threefold stronger effect in promoting a healthy vaginal environment compared to NeuEve Gold.
However, if you have vaginal atrophy, start with milder products. Stronger products may cause discomfort in women with vaginal atrophy. Begin with NeuEve Silver, then progress to Gold, BV Clear, and finally BV Clear Finisher, spending 2-4 months at each phase.
While NeuEve has the potential to support your body’s natural defenses, we do not make any medical claims. NeuEve is a natural product or nutritional supplement. The decision to use it for health maintenance, including monitoring HPV, is up to you.
