What Causes Genital Warts?

What Causes Genital Warts?
Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) and there are more than 75 strains of genital warts currently identified. Approximately 90% of all genital warts cases are caused by two specific types of the HPV (6 and 11) and are the least likely to have any cancer-causing potential. Less common types of genital warts have been associated with premalignant and malignant cervical cancers in women. HPV-16, in particular, has been attributed to about 50% of all cases of cervical cancer. Together, types 16, 18, 31, and 45, together, account for 80% of cancers.

Genital warts are highly contagious and are spread through oral, genital, or anal sex. Approximately two-thirds of people who have sexual contact with a partner who has genital warts will develop them. During sexual activity, the viral particles of HPV penetrate the skin and mucosal surfaces through microscopic abrasions in the genital area. Once cells are invaded by HPV, a latency period, which can last up to a year, may occur.

Genital warts are often associated with use of birth control pills, due to increased sexual contact without the use of barrier protection, such as condoms.
