Description
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection. Almost all sexually active people will be infected at some point in their lives, usually without symptoms. HPV can affect the skin, genital area and throat. HPV usually goes away on its own without treatment. Others can cause abnormal cells to develop, which go on to become cancer. Cancers from HPV can be prevented with vaccines.
