Pap Test FAQs
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the name of a group of viruses that cause infection on the skin surface. It is one of the most common viral infections. HPV infection can cause genital warts.
Though mostly harmless, HPV can cause abnormal cells, which can sometimes lead to cancers in both men and women, including cervical, vaginal, vulval, anal, head and neck, and penile cancers.
There are only preventive measures available currently. HPV is vaccine-preventable.
