Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)

There are over 100 types of human wart viruses, and at least 30 types that infect the genital and anal areas. Most infections are invisible and transmission occurs by direct ‘skin to skin’ contact between genital areas. These types of infections are very common. Research has shown that approximately 75% of people will have a genital HPV infection at some time in their life! Luckily most people’s immune systems deal effectively with the virus and it causes no disease.

Genital wart viruses are divided into two groups:

1) Low Risk HPV that cause visible warts on the skin

2) High Risk HPV that cause cancer and in particularly, cervical cancer

It is important to realize that there are distinct types of HPV, and that even people with High Risk HPV rarely get cancer.

Vaccines against some types of HPV are now available to prevent infections and reduce the chances of getting cervical cancer in women.
