” HPV (from the English Human Papilloma Virus) infection is very common in the population and is mainly transmitted sexually: in fact, it is estimated that up to 80 percent of sexually active women become infected with an HPV virus during their lifetime, with a peak prevalence in young women up to 25 years of age.
There are more than forty types of papilloma viruses that can affect not only the female genitalia but also the male genitalia. Such a virus is known to cause cervical cancer, but also other cancers, for example those of the anus, penis, and some types of mouth and throat cancer.”
