Human Papilloma Virus is also known as HPV and this is a sexually transmitted infection that causes Hpv Warts.This condition is also known as genital warts. HPV Warts is one of the most difficult STD’s to treat as it can have a dormancy period where the infection lies in your body without any symptoms. This means that it can spread really easily as the person might not even know they have the condition. HPV Warts goes through periods where the infection lies dormant and then other times the warts flare up. Therefore it is important to make sure to practice safe sex at all times by using a condom. If a person with HPV Warts has unprotected sex there is a 70% chance of them passing the infection onto their partner. This disease can also be spread through skin to skin contact of an infected area. If the warts are particularly small the person might not even realise that they have the infection. Condoms are not full proof as the warts can appear in areas not covered by a condom. Women often only find out they have HPV Warts when they go for a pap smear. This just tells you how important it is for sexually active women to get regular screening. If HPV Warts is left untreated it could lead to some serious conditions such as pelvic inflammatory diseases or cancer. It just proves again how important it is for sexually active people to get regular check ups. Hpv Warts often present themselves as small raised areas, they feel soft but do not burst, they may itch or burn, but can also be painless. Some people look on the internet for pictures of warts to help them to see if that is what they have. Generally the warts will be pink or fleshy colour and some people say the shape looks quite like a cauliflower. Occasionally the warts can disappear without treatment but generally you will require some form of treatment to get rid of them.
