Per the CDC, HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI). HPV is a different virus than HIV and HSV (herpes). Seventy-nine (79) million Americans, most in their late teens and early 20s, are infected with HPV. There are many different types of HPV. Some types can cause health problems including genital warts and cancers, but there are vaccines that can stop these health problems from happening.
