What Is Human Papillomavirus (HPV)?
HPV Virus Symptoms and Warning Signs
- Painless growths or lumps around the vagina, penis, or anus.
- Genital warts of different shapes or sizes.
- Abnormal cell changes found during cervical screening.
As symptoms are often absent, HPV can be present for years without causing any problems.
What to Expect
at Your Appointment
- Private consultation with a pharmacist
- Assessment of your symptoms
- Clear recovery plan and guidance
How HPV Is Spread
- HPV spreads easily through close skin-to-skin contact in the genital area, and penetrative sex is not required to pass the virus on. You can catch HPV through:
- Vaginal, anal, or oral sex.
- Close genital contact.
- Sharing sex toys.
Conditions Linked to HPV Infection
- Genital warts.
- Cervical cancer.
- Anal, penile, vulval, and vaginal cancers.
- Some head and neck cancers.
This is why HPV prevention and regular screening are so important, particularly for HPV-related diseases.
Why the HPV Vaccine Is Important
- Significantly reduced risk of cervical cancer and other HPV-related cancers.
- Prevention of genital warts caused by common HPV strains.
- Reduced spread of HPV within the wider community.
The vaccine is most effective when given before exposure, which is why it is recommended for teenagers and young adults.
