Those numbers identify which strain of HPV you have. Some strains have different properties. Strains 16 and 18 cause cancers in the cervix (or anus or penis in rarer instances). Strain 6 causes warts. There are hundreds of known strains, some of which don't like the genitals, but prefer hands and feet. Source(s): I work for your friendly local health department.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the world. More than 100 different types of HPV exist, most of which are harmless. About 30 types are spread through sexual contact. Some types of HPV cause genital warts鈥攕ingle or multiple bumps that appear in the genital areas of men and women including the vagina, cervix, vulva (area outside of the vagina), penis, and rectum. Many people infected with HPV have no symptoms.
HPV can be around the body, and its harmless. But genital HPV are only in genitals. Some of this HPV (genital) are high risk, because it can cause cancer. The others dont. I think (i say i think, im not sure) the numbers are taken depending the affectd area and its consecuences
