HPV (human papillomavirus) primarily infects epithelial cells, which are found in the skin and mucous membranes, such as the genital area, mouth, and throat. The virus is adapted to these specific cell types and relies on the local environment for replication and transmission. While HPV can persist in the body, it typically remains localized and does not spread systematically to other tissues or organs. The immune system usually controls the infection, preventing it from spreading beyond the initial site.
