How common is HPV?Approximately twenty million people are currently infected with HPV. Fifty to 75% of sexually active men and women acquire genital HPV infection at some point in their lives. About 5.5 million Americans get a new genital HPV infection each year.How do people get genital HPV infections?The types of HPV that infect the genital area are spread primarily through sexual contact. Most HPV infections have no signs or symptoms; therefore, most infected persons are completely unaware they are infected, yet they can transmit the virus to a sex partner. Rarely, pregnant women can pass HPV to their baby during vaginal delivery. A newborn that is exposed to HPV during delivery can develop warts in the larynx (voice box).Most people who have a genital HPV infection do not know they are infected. The virus lives in the skin or mucus membranes and usually causes no symptoms. Other people get visible genital warts.John Currie\s latest website can be found at HerpesJohn Currie is a leading expert on tinnitus, hyperacusis and Meniere\s disease and has been running his tinnitus related website since 1999.His advice and tinnitus treatment plans have helped thousands of people around the world.Click to view his tinnitus website.
