Hair loss has many causes, including stress, medications, autoimmune, genetic, trauma, etc. Medical treatments can work and options would include finasteride (propecia), minoxidil (rogaine), PRP (platelet rich plasma), laser light therapy, and vitamins. It is often uncertain which medical therapy will help which patient and so a combination of therapies is typically recommended to maximize benefit. A hair transplant is a surgical option and is appropriate for certain conditions and individuals. 
HPV is not a contraindication for hair PRP.  You should be fine.

Hi, @madreas! No, HPV will not affect your PRP hair restoration. HPV does not present in the blood so the platelet rich plasma, obtained from your blood, will be HPV free and ready to go. Hope this helps, good luck on your journey!
