Article Synopsis
- HPV is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by a DNA virus, which can lead to serious health issues, including various cancers associated with high-risk types like HPV-16 and HPV-18.
- Low-risk HPV types, such as HPV-6 and HPV-11, can cause benign conditions like genital warts, which, while not dangerous, can cause discomfort and distress.
- Prevention strategies include vaccination with effective HPV vaccines (such as Gardasil and Cervarix) and safe sexual practices, as HPV tests can be complicated due to the often asymptomatic nature of the infection.
