HPV is the abbreviation for human papillomavirus, it is not an independent disease, but the infection has a variety of disease symptoms, such as infectious molluscum contagiosum, flat warts, etc. These are only skin diseases and do not belong to STDs. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. The HPV virus is divided into high-risk and low-risk types. The high-risk type does not necessarily mean that it is an STD, but the high-risk type increases the chance of cervical cancer in women and penile cancer and testicular cancer in men, and the two most common high-risk viruses are type 16 and type 18. These HPV viruses can cause a range of skin diseases such as flat warts, infectious molluscum contagiosum (ectopic wart-like lesions on the perianal skin of the genital tract and lower vagina, flat wart-like lesions and low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia), etc. However, HPV types 5 and 11 infections cause warts, which are a relatively common skin STD at this stage. So if you do a physical health check and find out that you are positive for HPV, you don’t need to be too nervous, it’s not necessarily an STD. The actual fact is that if you are diagnosed with condyloma, then it is indeed a sexually transmitted disease. (High-risk types are mainly HPV16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 68, 73, 82 and 15 others, which mainly lead to CIN II-III lesions and cervical cancer, and CIN I with persistent high-risk HPV infection is prone to progress to CIN II-III.) It is true that a large part of HPV infection is transmitted through impure sexual intercourse, so it is important to eliminate impure sexual intercourse in daily life, clean oneself and develop good habits.
