What causes gentle warts?

Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Over 100 types of HPVs have been identified; about 40 of these types have the potential to infect the genital area. About 90% of genital warts are caused by two specific types of the virus (HPV-6 and -11), and these HPV types are considered "low risk," having a low cancer-causing potential. Other HPV types have been strongly associated with premalignant changes and cervical cancers in women. HPV-16 is responsible for about 50% of cervical cancers, and types 16, 18, 31, and 45 together account for 80% of cancers. Common warts are not the same as genital warts and are caused by different HPV types that infect the skin. Genital warts are indirectly associated with use of birth control pills due to increased sexual contact without the use of barrier protection, multiple sex partners, and having sex at an early age.

The risks are extremely high, as are the risks with any type of new medication or vaccine. Two years ago a friend of mine gave her daughters the shot. Soon after, her 12-year-old started losing the feeling in her limbs. She was rushed to the ER and soon after admitted to the Peds ICU and placed on a ventilator. She was diagnosed with Guillain-Barr. Fortunately for her, she lived. The HPV vaccine has caused a number of deaths in the last couple of years, numerous cases of Guillain-Barre, and is known to not treat all causes of HPV.
