No, HPV (human papillomavirus) is not caused by a parasite; it is a virus. HPV is a group of more than 200 related viruses, some of which can lead to genital warts and various cancers, including Cervical cancer. It is primarily transmitted through skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity. Vaccines are available to help prevent certain types of HPV and the health issues associated with it.
