Genitalia Human Papillomavirus (also known as HPV) is a common Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI). Technically, it is not a sexually transmitted disease but it can lead to other HPV types. HPV is usually transmitted through oral, vaginal, or anal sexual activity. This virus is highly contagious and if it goes unnoticed, it can be transmitted to partners. One can be sexually abstinent, but the infection will remain in the body, and can easily be transmitted once the infected person has genital-to-genital contact with a partner. HPV is also equally transmitted through heterosexual and homosexual couples. The person who has multiple partners has a higher chance on spreading the virus because they are unaware of their sexual health. The reason there has been an increase on HPV infections is because HPV not always manifest physical symptoms (http://www.cdc.gov/hpv/whatishpv.html).
Once a person becomes infected, the body’s immune system will try to prevent getting a physical reaction by combating it with your antibodies, however, if the body in defeated, warts will appeared around the infected area in the external body. HPV will flourish warts that vary from genital warts, common warts, plantar warts, and flat warts. Each of the types occurs based on the contact the infected person obtains it from. The appearance of warts is similarly of grotesque appearance and texture. Also, these warts may also be painful, and may be prone to bleeding if they are picked. Nevertheless, there are some types that are of non-discomfort and will go unnoticed of harm, such as the genital warts, a reason why they go unnoticed to the infected person (www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hpv-infection/basics/symptoms).

What is the human papillomavirus (HPV)? According to the US government’s National Cancer Institute, human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are a collection of more than one hundred viruses, many types having the ability to grow tumors or polyps that are malignant and others benign. Certain of the viruses are capable of forming genital warts. The HPVs that cause the common warts on hands and feet are different from those that cause growth in the throat or genital area (Human Papillomavirus). Professors Joe Cummins and Dr. Mae-Wan Ho inform us that some types are associated with cancer, and are called “high risk” HPVs. Of the more than one hundred types of HPVs, over thirty can be passed on through sexual contact. Most HPV infections occur without any symptoms and go away without treatment over the course of a few years. However, HPV infection sometimes persists for many years, with or without causing detectable cell abnormalities. Infection from “High risk” types of HPV is the main cause of cervical cancer. Pap smears have also led to earlier detection of these infections. Nearly all women who are sexually active will have HPV inf...
Many people do not develop any symptoms or any health problems at the beginning, in most cases the body’s immune system gets rid of the virus in two years. Although there is no way to know who will develop health problems. Some cases will develop genital warts in both males and females, the warts can also appear in the mouth, throat, anus, fingers, nails and cervix. Other types of HPV may cause the cells in the body to turn abnormal, which might lead to cervical cancer overtime if left untreated. The types of HPV that causes genital warts are not the same as the ones that can cause cancer. Types of HPV that can cause cancer are called High Risk HPV’s.

Herpes Simplex Virus is a highly contagious infection that is very common all over the world. HSV is commonly known has herpes and comes in two different forms, HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1, also known as oral herpes, mainly spreads by mouth to mouth contact, which causes infections around the mouth and leads to painful sores. HSV-2, or genital herpes, is transmitted sexually. This causes infections in the genital or anal area. Although HSV-1 is frequently known for causing oral infections, it can also be transmitted to the genital area through oral sex. Majority of HSV-1 infections are acquired during childhood and although no symptoms may occur, the infection is lifelong. An estimated 3.7 billion people under age 50 have HSV-1 infection globally
Warts are strong indications that you might have HPV. A common wart formed from HPV is genital warts. In women, the warts will be located around the vulva, anus, cervix, and vagina. In men they will be located penis, anus, or the scrotum. According to Mayo Clinic their appearance will consist of, “wise flat lesions, small cauliflower-like bumps or tiny stem-like protrusions.” The warts usually do not cause any discomfort or pain. However they can sometimes itch (Mayo Clinic).

Outbreaks or symptoms usually occur between three and five days however, sometimes outbreaks can show up months or even years after contact. Infected individuals usually have about four outbreaks a year for the first few years, then the number of outbreaks goes down. Usually the outbreaks happen near where the virus entered the body. Everyone does not always have the same outbreak symptoms and the outbreaks can come and go over time. Different contributors can bring on outbreaks. Stress, hormones, trauma, immunosuppression or illness are some of the contributing factors. Herpes outbreaks begin at the area of exposure, with an itching and burning sensation. Later, as the symptoms progress, watery blisters form, then later become open sores. Outbreaks can cause sores on or near lips, genitals, rectal area, buttocks or thighs. General symptoms can include small red bumps, swollen glands, muscle aches, headaches, genital discharge or pain when urinating. The first twentyfour hours are critical after contracting the virus and the quicker a medical regiment is in place the better the overall outcome. Medicine can calm the symptoms however, the virus will never leave the body. A blood test can be administered to determine if the virus is in the
Sexually Transmitted Diseases Sexually Transmitted Diseases STDs, a.k.a venereal diseases, infectious diseases passed from one person to another during sexual contact. STDs are the most common infections known. More than 12 million people in the United States, including 3 million teenagers, are infected with STDs every year. The United States has the highest STD rate in the world about one in ten Americans will contract an STD during his or her lifetime. People who do not know they are infected risk infecting their sexual partners and, in some cases, their unborn children. If left untreated, these diseases may cause pain or may destroy a woman's ability to have children. Some STDs can be cured with a single dose of antibiotics, but AIDS cannot be cured. Those most at risk for contracting STDs are people who have unprotected sex—without using a condom, people who have multiple partners, and people whose sex partners are drug users who share needles. Static’s show that Americans between the ages of 16 and 24 are most likely of catching STDs than older adults, because younger people usually have multiple sexual partners than an older person in a long-term relationship. Teenagers may be embarrassed to tell their sexual partners they are infected Teenagers may also be embarrassed or unable to seek medical attention for STDs. This means that they only more likely to pass the disease to other young people and have a greater risk of suffering the long-term consequences of untreated STDs. STDs are transmitted by infectious bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, and single-celled organisms called protozoa that live in warm, moist parts of the body, like the genital area, mouth, and throat. Most STDs are spread while having sex, but oral sex can also spread disease. Some STDs are passed from a mother to her child while pregnant, when the disease enters the baby's bloodstream, during childbirth as the baby passes through the birth canal, or after birth, when the baby drinks infected breast milk. AIDS can be transmitted by blood contact such as open wounds, between people who share infected needles or received through an injection of infected blood. Some people believe that STDs can be transmitted through shaking hands or other casual contact, or through contact with inanimate objects such as clothing or toilet seats, but they can’t. Chlamydeous, is from trachoma is bacterium, is the most commonly transmitted STD in the United States.
