Human papillomavirus (HPV) has an icosahedral shape, which is a common structure among many viruses. This shape consists of 20 equilateral triangular faces, giving it a symmetrical appearance. The viral capsid is composed of protein subunits called L1 and L2, which help protect the viral genetic material inside. Overall, its compact structure facilitates the virus's ability to infect host cells.
