HPV also known as Human papillomavirus is a diverse group of over 100 types of DNA-based viruses.
HPV is typically found in both humans and animals and is typically caused by sexual contact.
The HPV Virus can cause several unwanted side effects ranging from warts to cancer. Cervical Cancer is especially prevelant in women affected with HPV.
The HPV Virus can be contracted from just one sexual encounter. Reports for the actual percentage of people affected vary, but statistics in the U.S. alone range from 14% to as much as 90% depending on the source and conditions of the survey.
