Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a group of viral infections affecting the skin and moist membrane linings of the cervix, anus, mouth and throat. Condoms reduce your risk of contracting HPV but are not 100% effective against transmission of the virus.
There are over 100 types of HPV, 30 affecting the genitals, and they are easily transmitted through skin-to-skin contact of the genital area during intercourse.
HPV typically does not present with symptoms, although an HPV infection can lead to genital warts and abnormal tissue and cell growth in the cervix, which in some cases can lead to cervical cancer. There is currently a vaccine available which protects against the types of HPV that can lead to cancer. It is now given to girls aged 12-13 but can be taken at any age.
If you have been sexually active, we advise that you get tested for HPV before having the vaccine. It is estimated that eight out of ten people in the UK will contract an HPV infection at some point in their lives.
General testing for HPV is done as part of our cervical smear testing. In the event of a positive test result, we can also tell you which subtype of HPV you have, which provides an assessment of your risk of cervical cancer or genital warts, and an indication of how regularly you should be tested.
There is no treatment for the virus itself, but the effects of infection can be managed. The body usually clears itself of the virus within two years.
Whether you’re considering testing, seeking information about the vaccine, or exploring options for managing an existing HPV infection, our experts are here to provide personalised guidance and support.
