Yes, human papillomavirus (HPV) is considered an infectious disease. It is a sexually transmitted virus that can spread through intimate skin-to-skin contact, often during sexual activity. While many HPV infections are asymptomatic and resolve on their own, certain strains can lead to serious health issues, including genital warts and various cancers. Vaccines are available to protect against the most harmful types of HPV.
