<\/span><\/h2>\nHuman papillomavirus (HPV) is a DNA<\/span> Papilloma virus family virus. Also known as the wart virus.<\/p>\nHPV infects the epidermal<\/span> cells that make up the skin and epithelial<\/span> cells that make up the anogenital<\/span> tract and upper respiratory tract. An estimated eight out of ten people contracted HPV at some point in their lives.<\/p>\nThe HPV family has been classified into more than 170 subtypes (each denoted by a number).<\/p>\n
\n- HPV types 1, 2, 4, and 7 are associated with common warts.<\/li>\n
- HPV 3 and 10 are associated with flat warts.<\/li>\n
- HPV 1, 2, 4, 60, and 63 are associated with plant<\/span> warts<\/li>\n
- HPV 5 is associated with warts in verruciform epidermodysplasia (a rare skin condition).<\/li>\n
- HPV 6 is associated with genital, oral, and laryngeal warts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

<\/span>What is sexually acquired human papilloma virus?<\/span><\/h2>\nSeveral HPV subtypes preferentially infect epithelial cells and tend to be sexually transmitted.<\/p>\n
Low-risk HPV subtypes, such as types 6 and 11, are asymptomatic<\/span> or cause anogenital warts and scaly<\/span> cell papillomas<\/span>.<\/p>\nThere are approximately 13 high-risk subtypes of sexually transmitted HPV. In some cases, these present with precancerous<\/span> squamous intraepithelial lesions and Cancer<\/span> (squamous cells carcinoma<\/span>)<\/p>\n\n<\/span>Anogenital warts<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

<\/span>Who gets the sexually acquired human papilloma virus?<\/span><\/h2>\nSexually acquired HPV infects both men and women. The highest risk of contracting HPV is shortly after sexual debut. <\/p>\n
