What is Human Papillomavirus?

Human papillomavirus or HPV is a sexually transmitted disease among both men and women. People who are sexually active with one or multiple partners are exposed to this virus. The infection is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact. More than 100 HPV varieties are there that can be transmitted through sexual intercourse and usually affect the throat, genitals, and mouth.

According to a study, HPV is identified as the most common and contagious sexually transmitted infection. People can mostly experience the condition in their genitals in different varieties. It is easily transmissible even if the person has one sexual partner or few partners.

It is important to note that HPV often doesn’t pose serious health problems. However, if it is not treated on time, then it leads to hazardous problems such as cervix cancer, throat, and even anus.
