Abstract

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection is very common. HPV is a group of more than 200 related viruses [1]. HPV is an infection of the basal epithelium and transmission can occur either by direct contact or during childbirth. More than 40 HPV types can be easily spread through direct sexual contact, from the skin and mucous membranes of infected people to the skin and mucous membranes of their partners [2]. They can be spread by vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Other HPV types are responsible for non-genital warts, which are not sexually transmitted.
