Is HPV type 6 positive always warts?

Being positive for HPV type 6 does not necessarily mean you have warts. Human papillomavirus (HPV) mainly invades the skin and mucous membrane epithelial cells of the human body, causing warts, benign fibropapillomas and tissue cancer. Among them, HPV types 6 and 11 are low-risk types that are usually associated with the development of warts. When infected with HPV type 6, some patients are asymptomatic, while others experience increased leukorrhea and genital itching. Warts are only a symptom of HPV infection in some people. Warts are diagnosed mainly by physical examination, acetic acid white test, colposcopy, cytology, histopathology and other auxiliary examinations. The white acetate test is positive. Therefore, if HPV type 6 is positive, further examination can be done to clarify whether you have condyloma acuminatum.
