Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a very common virus. We worry about HPV because some types can cause cancer. Other types can cause skin warts on the hands, feet, and genitals.H.P.V. is spread or transmitted through direct contact with a person who is infected. Infection is asymptomatic in most cases and the virus can be eliminated by the immune system before it develops a pathogenic effect. It can also lead to a persistent viral disease that can manifest in different ways. It can lead to cancer, lesions of the skin, and mucous membranes. Genital cancers such as cancer of the cervix, vagina, vulva, anus, and penis can occur when the immune system fails to quickly eliminate the virus from the body.
