Human papillomavirus infection
Human papillomavirus infection is a sexually transmitted infection caused by a DNA virus from the Papillomaviridae family, often asymptomatic and self-resolving, but certain strains can lead to warts or cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, anus, mouth, tonsils, or throat, with HPV16 and HPV18 being notably linked to a significant majority of cervical and oropharyngeal cancers.
