HPV in men and women
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a group of more than 200 related viruses. Some of them are spread through sexual contact. Most people have been exposed to HPV. Usually, your immune system controls HPV infections, and they go away on their own and don’t cause any health problems, but some need treatment. HPV is a common viral infection that usually causes abnormal growths on the skin or mucous membranes and the appearance of warts. In most cases, HPV infection clears up on its own, but some types of HPV infection cause genital warts, and some can cause various types of cancer, such as cervical and anal cancer.
