Browsing: HPV
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by a group of more than 200 related viruses, some of which can lead to genital warts and various cancers, including cervical, anal, and oropharyngeal cancers. HPV spreads through skin-to-skin contact, primarily via sexual activity, and is so widespread that most sexually active individuals will contract it at some point in their lives. While many HPV infections clear on their own without causing harm, persistent infections with high-risk strains can lead to serious health complications. Vaccination, regular screenings (such as Pap smears), and safe sexual practices are key measures for preventing HPV-related diseases.
