Genital Warts
Genital warts are caused by human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. HPV is a group of viruses that cause warts on skin surfaces. Certain types of HPV cause warts on the hands and feet, while others can cause visible warts in the genital area or around the anus. The majority of people who are sexually active will carry genital HPV at some stage of their lifetime, but usually won’t show any symptoms.
There is an HPV vaccine available which is free of charge up to the age of 27.
