Human Papiloma Virus (HPV) are a group of more than 100 viruses and over 40 types can be passed from one person to another through sexual contact or sexual intercourse. They are called papilomaviruses because certain types may cause warts, or papilomas, which are benign (non cancerous) tumors. Human papilomaviruses (HPV) is the cause of Cervical cancer. HPV is passed from one person to another during skin-to skin contact. HPV can be spread during sex- including low risk types are less of a concern, one must keep in mind that low-risk types of HPV cause genital warts and can lead to abnormal Pap results. The high- risk types are the ones that we have to be very concerned about. The "high risk" types are associated with different types of cancers. Cervical Cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in women worldwide, resulting in nearly a half-million diagnosis and 240,000 deaths each year. 4.7 million abnormal Pap results each year in the US. At least 3 million of the results are caused by some type of HPV.
