Summary

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 40 types of HPV can infect the genital area. Certain strains cause genital warts; other strains cause cervical cancer or cancers of the vagina, penis, and anus. Vaccines are available to prevent certain types of HPV, and practicing safe sex by using condoms can help prevent transmission. Human Papillomavirus describes the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human papillomavirus, the newest HPV research, and future prospects for controlling this disease.

Chapters include:

  • What Is Human Papillomavirus?
  • The Biology of Human Papillomavirus
  • Treatment of HPV Infections
  • Prevention of HPV Infection and Cervical Cancer
  • Future Prospects and Concerns Regarding HPV and Cancer.
