Now those that do not disappear can develop warts or cancer, depending on the type of HPV that has been acquired.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s important to know that warts or cancer can take years to appear after a person has become infected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Having been infected with a particular type of HPV in the past does not guarantee that a new infection can\u2019t be re-acquired by the same type.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #75c9d3;\"><strong>Causes<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection. It&#8217;s transmitted by having oral, vaginal or anal intercourse with an infected person because of contact between mucous membranes. It can be transmitted even when the infected person does not present symptomatology.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #75c9d3;\"><strong>Types of the human papillomavirus<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We can classify it according to their virulence:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><em>No risk:<\/em> they have no detrimental effects at all.<\/li>\n<li><em>Low risk:<\/em> can cause genital warts, anal warts, oral warts or in the throat.<\/li>\n<li><em>High risk:<\/em> can cause cell changes that can induce cancer of the cervix, vulva, vagina and anus. In men, they can cause cancer of the anus and penis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #75c9d3;\"><strong>Treatment<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The majority of human papillomavirus infections disappear by themselves within 8-13 months of infestation. However there are certain infections that don&#8217;t disappear and remain latent in the body for years undetected. It&#8217;s for this reason that it is often very difficult to determine the source of infection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although there is currently no specific antiviral medical treatment, genital warts are usually treated with topical applications, cryotherapy or with laser treatment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cervical scraping smears (Papanicolau) are recommended, as well as the specific tests performed routinely as prevention and as early detection of possible cervical cancer, especially in people considered to be at high risk.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1473066092346{margin-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1473066053815{margin-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;] What is the human papillomavirus?
