What is HPV?
HPV stands for the Human Papillomavirus. It is a group of over 100 very common viruses. Most commonly, it affects the skin area. Around 8 in 10 people will get infected by HPV in their lifetime but usually, these individuals will not notice it as most people do not get any symptoms.
How does the HPV virus spread?
The most common areas that are affected by the HPV are the mouth, throat and genitals. The HPV virus is transmitted through skin contact, you do not need to have penetrative sex to catch the virus. You can get the HPV from:
- skin to skin contact of the genital areas
- vaginal, anal or oral sex.
- sharing of sex toys.
