What diseases are associated with hpv?

The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted disease worldwide. Most commonly, HPV causes condyloma acuminata (genital warts). However, HPV also can lead to cervical cancer. This is the reason why women should get regular pap smears. HPV is also associated with cancers of the vulva (the area surrounding the vaginal opening), vagina, penis, anus, and head and neck. A rare condition caused by HPV is recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). Basically, one gets recurrent warts in the throat, which can lead to problems breathing. This disease form is thought to result when a mother with HPV passes the virus to her baby during delivery.

How accurate are hpv tests if you don't have any symptoms yet?

There is no commercially available test to tell someone they don't have HPV. An HPV test is sometimes done in conjunction with a Pap smear. This test looks for high-risk HPV subtypes on the cervix. It can't tell you that you don't have HPV. Most people contract HPV soon after becoming sexually active. If you are sexually active, you have probably been exposed to HPV. There is nothing special you need to do if you have HPV. You should consider getting the HPV vaccine, using condoms or abstaining from sex, and, if you're female, should get pap smears regularly as advised by your women's health care provider.

HPV is widely accepted as a cause of certain types of cancers, including cervical and some throat cancers. HPV is a sexually transmitted virus. Not all HPV types are thought to be "high risk" types.

With proper follow up and treatment from a medical professional, the chances of getting cervical cancer are low, even if HPV positive.
