HPV Virus Facts - What is HPV
HPV is the abbreviation for Human Papillomavirus, which is the name of a group of viruses consisting of more than 100 different strains. Most of them are harmless and don't lead to any health problem in people, some cause minor disorders, such as common warts, and about 30 strains are sexually transmitted and rather dangerous. They infect the genital area of both men and women and without proper treatment can lead to serious disorders.
Sexually transmitted viruses are subdivided into "low-risk" types that cause mild Pap smear test abnormalities or warts in the genital area and "high-risk" types that cause abnormal Pap smear tests and can even lead to cancer. HPV is very guileful and people who are infected with it are unaware of it and transmit the virus further to their partners. In some cases the symptoms of the disorder disappear on their own, but more often HPV requires long treatment, especially during the outbreaks. The virus itself cannot be destroyed, but its symptoms can be reduced.
