Did you know that hpv is the most common std in the US. Hpv is the leading cause of cervical cancer in woman. Most people who have hpv don't no they have it. Most of the time there are no symptoms. In woman you may or may not have symptoms depending on which type of the virus you have. There a high risk and low risk types of the virus. If you have High risk you are at high risk for cervical cancer. If you have low risk hpv you could develop genital warts but not always. In men there are usually no symptoms or detection. Only way of actually knowins a male has the virus is if they have a genital wart or if a previous sexual partner tells him she or he has the virus. I encourage all females to get the pap tests and keep them up to date. Dont hesitate remember a female can prevent cervical cancer by getting the regual pap screenings. There is currently a vaccine which can help prevent the certain high risks of hpv that may develop cervical cancer. PLEASE GIRLS GET UR PAPS
