There are over 100 different kinds of HPV. About a handful of them can cause warts (including genital, hand and feet) and about another different handful can cause cancer (including cervical, penile, anal, head and neck cancer).

Hi! HPV is a very common cause of genital warts, and a simple culture or blood test could verify this. In turn, the warts are a form of dysplasia, which means the infected cells are abnormal from the virus. On the other hand, persons can have HPV in their bloodstream and transmit this sexually without having any visible warts at the time. There is a medication called Valtrex which can help, this med is also used in genital herpes to control outbreaks. The HPV virus is getting more and more common, and they are developing vaccines for this. Hope I have helped, take good care!

There are about 70 different types of HPV, or human papilloma virus, and various strains of the virus cause warts (including genital warts) and also cervical cancer - an early form of which is dysplasia, called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, or CIN, which just means the cells of your cervix don't look like normal. These abnormal cells are detected by a routine smear test at an early, treatable stage of the cancer, which is why you should always go when invited. Cervical cancer is one of very few cancers caused by a virus in normal healthy people.
HPV virus causes the epithelial cells (the outer layers of skin that are shed naturally) of either your skin and your cervix to grow more than they should do, causing warts and, more rarely, cancer.
Different HPV strains cause warts on your genitals and the rest of your body, HPV 16 and 18 are the most common causes of cervical cancer, which is why a vaccine against these viruses is being developed by 2 major pharmaceutical companies. Having warts does not mean you will automatically get cancer later on.
Most warts (including genital warts) eventually go away by themselves, but may take up to 2 years. If they are causing a real problem there are various treatments available from doctors.
Have a look at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000886.htm for some more information.

HPV- Overview
HPV is the short name of Human papillomavirus. This is a group of virus with more than one hundred varieties. the HPV viruses that cause genital problems are called genital HPV. about 30 typesof HPV aresexually transmitted. HPV can cause genital warts and cervical cancer in women. In men HOPV can caiuse genital warts. Some of these virus types are low risk viruses for causing cervical cancer. some of them are high risk viruses and can cause cervical cancer more frequently. Some people with HPV never come to know that they are infected.
HPV- Symptoms
the common symptoms of having HPV infection are genital warts. Some warts may be very small and skin colored and may be missed totally. Both in men and women these warts form around the genitals. For more on genital warts- click here.
HPV treatment-
HPV infection many times goes away on its own. there is no sure cure for HPV infection. You may become a carrier for live. Persistent HPV infection wuith high risk virus may cause cervical vcancer in women. a pap testr will tell you about the extent to which your cervix may be damaged. Even if your pap test is clear you may be infected with HPV because HPV may not have affected your cervix. A HPV test done along with pap test will give sure information about the status. If the virus has not infected cervix and is only on the outer genitals it can be treated by removing the genital warts. But removing the warts does not make you HPV free. you should get tested regularly.
HPV prevention
HPV can be prevented in only one way. having sexual relations with another HPV free person. Condoms protect to a certain extent but condom free genital skin can spread the virus. more-

There are many different types of HPV and it is the virus that can cause genital warts and cervical cancer but having HPV does not mean that you will get genital warts or cervical cancer. And to clear up an inaccuracy...you CANNOT treat genital WARTS with Valtrex. Valtrex is only for genital or sometimes oral herpes. Doctors treat genital warts by burning or freezing them off or with the prescription creams Condylox or Aldara.

HPV is totally different. I have it and didn't know until I had a pap come back abnormally severe. Genital warts are actual growths down there like the warts you get on your hands. HPV is in your cervix and can cause cervical cancer. HPV does not cause warts. Dysplasia is the abnormal pap smear diagnosis. Warts cannot cause that, the HPV causes that. Mine was severe dysplasia and I had to have a LEEP procedure done to take all the abnormal HPV cells off the cervix. Then you have to have a pap every 3 months for a year, then every 6 months for a year then yearly if the pap is normal.

They are over 100 HPV types. 30 + HPV types are found in the ano-genital area. HPV of the genital area are categorized in two different groups. Low risk HPV types (these are the HPV types that are not found in cancer and usual show as a vulva or penis wart. High risk HPV are the HPV types that can progress to cancer…(most often they do not and with treatments abnormal cells can be removed) High risk HPV types may have no outward signs. High risk HPV types are found in many cancers most commonly high risk HPV types are diagnosed after abnormal cells are found on the cervix. High risk HPV types can cause vulva, vaginal and anal cancer. Cancer of the penis is rare but is associated with high risk HPV types.
Dysplasia is abnormal cell growth dysplasia is most commonly associated with cervical abnormal cells. Both low risk and high risk HPV types can cause dysplasia, the approved HPV test only screens for 13 of the most common high risk HPV types generally low risk HPV testing is not done. www.hpvtest.com
There is no standard screening for HPV of the vulva.
All HPV types do not cause warts dysplasia is commonly caused by HPV.
You can have an HPV infection with no visible signs...

Moles, warts, and epidermis labels are typical skin wounds that develop naturally. Although they're typically non malignant, they could be awkward if found on an obvious portion like the face. Epidermis lesions like moles and warts cause self confidence problems to the sufferers. An individual with moles normally turns into a loner because they don't desire to be seen in public. They feel uncomfortable to be out in public places, therefore despair can naturally follow but now you can modify all this with this information from here https://tr.im/pySLS , Moles, Warts and Skin Tags Removal eBook.
The writer of the eBook, Charles Davidson, is just a practitioner in substitute medicine. He is also a professional in skincare, using normal therapies to remedy different types of epidermis conditions.
