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.

What kind of viruses cause warts?

You can do HPV genotyping to know high risk and low risk type of HPV.

The HPV test that may be done as a followup to an abnormal pap looks for high-risk (cancer causing) HPV. If the test is negative, you don't have high-risk HPV on the cervix, but you may be infected with low risk HPV subtypes, or infected in another location.
How do you get high-risk HPV?

Do some viruses cause cancer?
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. A "high risk" HPV is more likely to lead to cancer if left untreated. Currently most pap tests also include an HPV test. It is important to know that HPV is very common, but cervical cancer rates remain relatively low in the United States. With proper follow up and treatment from a medical professional, the chances of getting cervical cancer are low, even if HPV positive.
Is it bad to have HPV for 6 months?
That depends on the strain (high risk or low risk) and the state of your immune system. A weak immune system and a high risk strain could lead to cervical cancer.
If you have hpv what are the chances that you will get cevical cancer?
Having HPV (human papillomavirus) does increase the risk of developing cervical cancer, but not all HPV infections lead to cancer. Most HPV infections clear up on their own without causing any health issues. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV types, particularly HPV 16 and 18, is associated with a higher risk of cervical cancer, but regular screenings and preventive measures, like the HPV vaccine, can significantly reduce this risk. Overall, the majority of individuals with HPV do not develop cervical cancer.
What are the differences between the various HPV strains and how do they impact individuals differently?
There are many strains of HPV, but the most common ones are categorized as high-risk and low-risk. High-risk strains can lead to cancer, while low-risk strains usually cause genital warts. The impact on individuals varies depending on the strain they are infected with, with some strains being more likely to cause serious health issues than others.

Yes, your body will typically clear high-risk HPV on its own. There is no treatment to make the infection go away faster. There are treatments for any cellular abnormalities caused by high-risk HPV.
Is there an antibiotic that can be administered prior to birth to reduce the risk of hpv transmission to the infant?
