HPV

What is HPV?

A wart is a virus classified within the Human Papilloma Viruses (HPVs).  hpv represent a group of more than 80 types of wart viruses. hpv is called papillomaviruses because certain types cause warts, or papillomas, which are benign (noncancerous) tumors. 

One of the most common human infections in the world is that caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV). HPV, which is commonly known as "wart virus", is a microscopic virus particle that infects the skin. In the case of HPV, the infection is actually localized directly to the infected point in the skin, as opposed to herpes simplex, where the virus goes through the skin and into the nerve cells, traveling up the nerve cell connection to the nerve ganglia by the spinal cord, where the virus lives. With HPV, the infection is actually in the skin.

HPV can grow on all parts of your body.  HPV can grow on your skin, mouth, genitals, and rectal area. Some types of HPV tend to cause warts on the skin, while other HPV types tend to cause warts on the genitals and rectal area.

What does HPV look like?

HPV appears as single bumps or in clusters, most HPV have a cauliflower structure. Of the more than 100 identified types of HPV, there are more than 30 types of HPV that have the ability to infect the genital tract. These HPV genital warts can be passed from one person to another through sexual intercourse.

How do I treat HPV?

In the past, and even in the present, HPV has been treated locally with acid or a chemical solution.  In some cases, HPV is even treated by cauterization (burning the warts) by skin doctors. Such measures to treat HPV, it has been observed, is often temporary; and the HPV reappears.

How does one get HPV?

HPV is passed from person to person, often indirectly. HPV on the skin may be passed to another person when that person touches the wart. It may take several months for HPV to appear if transmission occurs.  It is also possible to catch HPV from using towels or other objects that were used by a person who has HPV. 

HPV is transmitted to another area of the body or to another person through the contact by an infected piece of skin with a non-infected piece of skin. The presumption is that the non-infected area has to have a small, perhaps microscopic, break in the skin that allows a tiny amount of tissue from the infected area to get into the non-infected area, allowing an infection to set up.

It is easy to imagine that someone with a wart on a finger might scratch an itch elsewhere on the body and transmit the virus to that area. This is a common way in which warts are spread around on different areas of the same person.

Warts are also contagious, excreting large loads of HPV viral particles. If a person with a wart on a finger were to touch a genital area in a manner vigorous enough to slightly break the skin, this might transmit the virus to that area.

The same thing applies to intimate contact between partners. If a person with a wart anywhere on that person’s body were to place that area in contact with the genitalia of the other person, this could cause the wart virus to be transmitted to the genital area of the partner. This applies to warts on fingers as well as warts on the genitals of the infected partner.

Sadly, most areas of skin that possess HPV infection have no outward signs. Thus, the infection may be transmitted to the uninfected area of a partner without any knowledge of this fact by either partner. This is the manner in which almost all HPV infections are apparently transmitted. So, practically, if partners choose to have direct skin-to-skin contact between genitalia, then it may be impossible to know if HPV virus is being transmitted or not.

Protecting against HPV infections

Latex condoms are effective in preventing transmission of HPV to partners. The condom must cover potentially infected areas completely. If a partner has no outward signs of infection on an area high on the penis near the scrotum, for example, the partner may in fact spread HPV to a partner even while wearing a condom. Thus, it is reasonable to use latex condoms, but no complete assurance can ever be given that the condom will be completely protective.

Various plastic membranes are available for females now which may be very effective at preventing transmission of most STD’s, not just HPV. Such devices must be of an appropriate size for the female, even perhaps requiring proper fitting by a medical provider such as a gynecologist for maximum protection and comfort. As mentioned above vaccines are not yet available that can provide protection for people who do not yet carry the virus.
