Consultation

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

Please let me inform you that HPV (human papillomavirus) is actually a virus, not a bacteria, and is not associated with alcohol use or high alcohol blood readings. There is no correlation or connection between these two things. If you son wants treatment for HPV, he can certainly consult an infectious disease specialist.

H. Pylori is also not associated with alcohol use or high alcohol blood readings. There is no correlation or connection between these two things. If you son wants treatment for H Pylori, he can consult a gastroenterologist.
