Does having HPV necessarily mean you have an STD?

  There are often patients in the clinic who think that HPV infection is a sexually transmitted disease, there are those who find it difficult to talk about it and dare not go to the doctor, and there are couples who blame each other …… In fact, HPV infection is not the same as a sexually transmitted disease, they are different concepts.  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. HPV of low-risk type can cause benign diseases such as acromegaly, common warts, laryngeal and conjunctival papilloma, while HPV of high-risk type is associated with a variety of malignant tumors in humans, such as head and neck tumors, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, oral cancer, sinus cancer, lung cancer, bladder cancer, cervical cancer, penile cancer and anal cancer. Especially, cervical cancer caused by high-risk HPV infection needs our extra attention.  The usual STDs that HPV infection can cause are mainly condyloma acuminatum. The name is also known as genital warts, as the name implies the warts that grow on the genital area is called condyloma acuminata. It is a very good idea to have a good time. 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 warts that grow on the head, face, limbs or hands and feet are flat warts or common warts, and they are all caused by HPV. However, the HPV subtypes that cause warts are different from common warts and flat warts, which are mainly caused by HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18 and 33. The most important thing is to be aware of the fact that genital cancer, mainly cervical cancer, is associated with warts of type 16, type 18 and type 33.   The actual fact is that you will find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time. It is relatively more important to worry about high-risk HPV than warts, as it is closely related to many types of cancer.  Be sure to have regular checkups to see if you have cleared the virus, and if you have been infected with HPV for a long time and found to have cervical precancerous lesions, you need to go to the hospital for treatment. In addition, since there are more than two hundred types of HPV and the existing scientific instruments can only detect up to 27 types, most of the HPV types are undetectable. This is why I have patients who are negative for HPV but have genital warts, which require an interview with a medical professional, not just the test results.
