Caffeine Intake and HPV?

[beingcareful]

Dear Dr Hunter Handsfield,

I have genital warts and I am meeting my doctor next month for treatment of electro-cautery.(previous treatment with acid didnt work)

My question is that can taking fat burners/ energy capsules with a lot of caffeine content in them promote recurrence of genital warts?

I am interested in taking diet pills which have 300 mg of caffeine per serving and 200 mg of Green Tea Leaf Extract. Serving Size is 2 capsules.

Maximum recommended dosage is 2 servings 4 capsules per day.

In some places i have read caffeine is not good for immune system and in other places I have read and it says caffeine has antioxidants and is a good source of iron.

I asked my Doctor,he said caffeine may not have an impact on recurrence of genital warts.
I am aware that warts can appear after my treatment but I do not want to take any step to worsen my immune system's response to clearing this virus.

Regards,

Being Careful

Dr. Handsfield will not answer you on this forum. This is a patient-only forum. If you want to talk to the Doc, you've got to take your question to this forum http://www.medhelp.org/forums/STD/wwwboard.html

and pay a $15 fee. That being said, Dr. HHH will probably tell you that your diet pills have no effect on whether or not your warts recur.
