Depending on the strain of HPV (human papillomavirus), it can cause genital warts (small fleshy bumps or clusters of bumps found on the genital area), an increased risk of Cervical cancer, or show no signs or symptoms at all. In most cases, women affected with HPV have the virus and it resolves on its own. If you are sexually active or 21 years or older, it is recommended that you have a Pap smear annually to screen for cervical cancer and other abnormalities (including HPV).

∙ 10y agoYes, you can get HPV on your body.
HPV is a very large group of viruses that cause warts. Some subtypes cause warts on the hands, some on the feet, some on the genitals, etc. All HPV subtypes are spread by skin-to-skin contact; all warts are contagious.
Genital HPV is passed through genital contact-most often during vaginal and anal sex. HPV may also be passed on during oral sex and from genital-genital contact without sex. Since genital HPV usually causes no symptoms, most men and women can get HPV-and pass it on-without realizing it. People can have HPV even if years have passed since they had sex. Even men with only one lifetime sex partner can get HPV.
