Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a group of about 100 related viruses. Some types can cause skin warts while other types can cause genital warts (also called condylomata). Common in young women and men, most HPV infections that are spread through oral, anal or genital sex are short-lived and relatively benign. There are, however, several types of HPV (such as HPV-16, HPV-18, HPV-31, and HPV-45) that are considered high-risk.
