Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a group of more than 200 related viruses, some of which can cause warts, while others are linked to various cancers, including cervical, anal, and oropharyngeal cancers. HPV is primarily transmitted through direct skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity. Many HPV infections are asymptomatic and can clear on their own, but persistent infections with high-risk strains can lead to cancer. Vaccines are available to protect against the most common cancer-causing types of HPV.
