Genital Warts (Sexual Health)

Soft, sometimes itchy warts in and around the genitals (vagina, penis, testicles, anus, etc.) caused by HPV (human papilloma virus). Genital warts are usually spread by direct, skin-to-skin contact during unprotected anal, oral or vaginal sex, or by touching or rubbing an infected area.


Genital Warts (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)

(caused by the Human Papillomavirus or HPV). HPV infects between one half-million to a million people each year. There are actually about 70 different types of this virus. Some cause small reddish or pink warts on the genitals or anus. Some of the HPV types also cause cervical cancer. It is important for sexually active women to get a pap smear so that possible signs of cervical cancer can be detected early and cancer can be prevented. Because genital warts are caused by a virus, there is no real cure–the warts themselves can be treated, but the virus still lives inside a person's body. HPV is passed through direct skin-to-skin contact, even if no symptoms are present.
