HPV question can someone tell me?

does the same hpv virus that causes warts also cause cervical cancer or is it diffrent viruses

There are over 100 types of papillomaviruses (HPVs) that infect humans. Of these, more than 40 types can infect the anogenital tract (genital tract and anus) of men and women and cause genital warts (known as condylomata acuminata or venereal warts). A subgroup of the HPVs that infect the anogenital tract (genital tract and anus) can lead to precancerous changes in the uterine cervix and cause uterine, cervical cancer. HPV infection also is associated with the development of other anogenital cancers in women. The HPV types that cause cervical cancer also have been linked with both anal and penile cancer in men as well as a subgroup of head and neck cancers in both women and men. Genital warts and HPV infection are transmitted primarily by sexual intimacy, and the risk of infection increases as the number of sexual partners increase.

I believe there are something like 40 different HPV viruses out there, and only 4 of them can cause cervical cancer.

The new vaccine that is available protects against the four HPV types that cause most cervical cancers and genital warts.

Having a genital wart does not mean you will get cervical cancer.

Unlike herpes, there is no treatment for HPV, but most people鈥檚 bodies do eventually fight the virus off.

There ARE treatments for the health problems that HPV can cause鈥攍ike genital warts, cervical cell changes, and cervical cancer. Once abnormal cells are treated (removed), you may need to get Pap tests more often to make sure they do not come back.

In most women, HPV goes away within two years. No one knows why it lasts longer in some women than others.

If you have one type of HPV that goes away, you may not get that type again. But you still can get a different type. Remember, there are about 40 types of HPV that can infect the genital area.

It's different
