What is HPV?
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection. There are many types of HPV, and most sexually active people will get some type of HPV at some point in their lives. While many types are harmless and clear up on their own, others can cause health problems like genital warts or cancers. Understanding the virus is the first step toward living a full, healthy life with it.
