HPV Virology and Treatment
Introduction
HPV currently infects twenty million Americans and about another six million become infected each year. Today, at least fifty percent of sexually active men and women get HPV during their lifetime (40). As one can see, this sexually transmitted disease is among the most prevalent in America, which explains the importance of understand the disease. Human papillomavirus (HPV) or the “wart virus” is a virus belonging to its own family, papillomaviridae. There are more than a 100 types of HPV and as reflected in its name, species specific for humans. There are two types, cutaneous or mucocutaneous, based upon its tissue tropism or predilection for infecting specific areas of the human body. Human papillomavirus infections are diagnosed worldwide, account for the most common sexually transmitted disease worldwide, and have been associated with both cutaneous and mucocutaneous cancers prompting attempts to prevent infections using vaccines. In short, it has become a global health infection warranting every effort to control and eradicate it.
