HPV – Human Papilloma Virus Infection 101

HPV stands for human papillomavirus. It can cause warts and cancer of the cervix and penis.

Hundreds of types of HPV have been identified. These have been subdivided into low-risk types and high-risk types. The low-risk types are responsible for the growth of warts while the high-risk types may progress to cancer.

The mode of transmission is through skin-to-skin contact and sexual contact. HPV is highly contagious; the infection passes from an infected person to an uninfected person easily.

HPV can be diagnosed by:

• Extraction of DNA from the cervical cells collected by brushing the cervix (ie. a Pap smear)
• Detection of viral DNA sequences

The tests available for the diagnosis are:

• Pap test.
• HPV test.
