Human Papilloma Virus Infections

V Cecil Wright
PMCID: PMC2280408  PMID: 21248973

Abstract

Genital warts are believed to be caused by human papilloma viruses and to be sexually transmitted. The viruses are classified by DNA types, which appear to cause different types of disease. The choice of treatment, and usually its success rate, vary according to the type of disease and its location.

Keywords: human papilloma virus, infectious diseases, sexually transmitted diseases
