What is HPV? [ view ] |
| |
Human Papilloma Virus is also called genital warts. There are 100 strains of HPV, but only 30 of them cause genital infection. HPV is an extremely contagious sexually transmitted disease that is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, which means it is likely that a condom would NOT protect you. Most people who have HPV have no clue they have the disease because they have no visible symptoms and there is usually no pain associated with this disease. Although the HPV virus is known to go away on its own in many cases, it is still the cause of up to 98% of cervical cancer in women. More women die of cervical cancer in America than die of AIDS. |
