What is HPV?

HPV stands for the Human Papillomavirus. It is a collection of over 100 very common viruses. Usually it affects the skin area. Around 8 in 10 people will get infected by HPV in their lifetime but usually, many of these individuals will not notice it as most people do not get any symptoms.

How does the HPV virus spread?

The most common areas of the body that are affected by the HPV are the mouth, throat and genitals. The HPV virus is transmitted through skin contact and there is absolutely no need to have penetrative sex to catch the virus. You can get the HPV from:

  • vaginal, anal or oral sex.
  • skin to skin contact of the genital areas
  • sharing of sex toys.
Which conditions are linked to HPV infection?

There is a variety of conditions that are linked to HPV. As mentioned already, in most people it does not cause any problems but in some people, it can cause genital warts and abnormalities in cells leading to cancer. Some HPV variants re more likely to cause cancer and have been linked to:

  • Vaginal Cancer
  • Cancer of the penis

How can you protect yourself from HPV?

There are certain things that you can do to help reduce your risk of HPV infection.

  • Using condoms can help protect you against HPV to some extent, but they do not cover all the skin around the genitals so you are not fully protected.
  • Getting the HPV vaccine. It provides protection against some of the main kinds of HPV that causes genital warts and cancer. All the HPV types are not covered by the vaccine.
