	STD Facts - Human papillomavirus (HPV)
		Genital HPV infection is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV).
		Human papillomavirus is the name of a group of viruses that includes more than 100 different strains or types.
		More than 30 of these viruses are sexually transmitted, and they can infect the genital area of men and women including the skin of the penis, vulva (area outside the vagina), or anus, and the linings of the vagina, cervix, or rectum.

	Cutaneous Manifestations of Human Papilloma Virus
		Human papillomavirus types 6 and 11 are the most prevalent viral types found in condyloma acuminata (Figure 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d) [36-39].
		The physical state of the human papillomavirus (HPV) genome is usually different in malignant lesions of the skin, in which it is generally found in episomal form, and genital mucosa, in which it is frequently integrated with disruption of the E2 gene.
		Human papillomavirus (HPV) 14, 20 and 21 were isolated from the plaques, HPV 3, 14 and 38 from flat warts and HPV 5, 12, 17, 20 and 38 from PV-like lesions.

		One of the high risk factors for cervical cancer is the presence of antibodies to the human papillomavirus (the same group of viruses that cause genital warts).
		Although benign, the virus is believed to trigger alterations in the cells of the cervix, leading to the development of cancer.

	News: Human papillomavirus tests could decrease deaths from cervical cancer
		‘The gain in life expectancy which we observed with the papillomavirus testing is related to referring patients that test positive for the virus, and are therefore at higher risk of developing cervical cancer, for immediate follow-up investigation at the hospital’ said Rosa Legood, a senior researcher with the Oxford Health Economics Research Centre.
		The researchers analyzed data from three laboratories which the Department of Health chose in 2001 as pilot sites for the use of human papillomavirus testing and of Liquid Based Cytology, with which the NHS is gradually replacing the Pap smear.
		The paper, entitled ‘Lifetime effects, costs, and cost effectiveness of testing for human papillomavirus to manage low grade cytological abnormalities: modelling study,’ was published in Volume 332, No. 7533, pp 79-85 of the BMJ on 14 January.

	Harvard Gazette: Papillomavirus' M.O. better understood
		Unlike some viruses, such as influenza, HIV, and the common cold virus, which churn out copies within the confines of a single host cell that is then destroyed, human papillomaviruses invade proliferating epithelial cells and distribute their copies among subsequent generations.
		Human papillomavirus is a leading cause of sexually transmitted diseases in the United States.
		Combined with early methods of detection such as Pap smears, human papillomavirus- specific antivirals could lower the rate of cervical cancer, currently the second most common cancer in women.

		Some types of papillomaviruses that cause genital infections have been linked with various cancerous tumours, especially cervical cancers; their presence can be detected through a Pap smear.
		The causes of cervical cancer vary, but most cases are caused by complications associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, a sexually transmitted disease that inhibits the ability of cervical cells to suppress tumours.
		The major risk factor for cervical cancer is human papillomavirus infection, which can be reduced or prevented by avoiding sexual contact with individuals who have had multiple sexual partners.
