Human Papillomavirus(HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States. There are more than 14 million new cases of HPV every year in the United States. This infection usually goes away by itself and is usually harmless, however some types can lead to cancer or genital warts. HPV is so common because it can be spread without sexual intercourse; skin to skin contact can spread the infection. There is no technical cure for HPV, however treatment is geared towards relieving pain or side effects such as genital warts.
