Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted disease that can be prevented through vaccination. Most people who are infected with HPV are unaware of their infection because symptoms are rare. When symptoms do occur, they can include visible genital warts or pre-cancerous changes in the cervix, vulva, anus, or penis. HPV is the primary cause of cervical cancer as well as the cause for many anal, penile and head/neck cancers. There is no cure for HPV, but many times the infection will resolve on its own.
