Everyone. Men, women and children. There are over two hundred strains of the virus. Ever had a wart? Then you have HPV. You also know how easily they spread. It's touch...not sex. 20-30% of the strains are genital. Most of these strains are the wart producing type...these are benign if painful and ugly. Treatment for them is like any wart..burn or freeze. 10-5% of the strains are the kind that cause cancer...there are no warts. The only way to know is by a pap smear. There is no test for men who can also develop genital cancer from HPV. As a woman once you have they know you have one of the 10-5% strains via pap smear...it's cervical biopsy time to narrow down ..which by itself can render it impossible for you to ever have children. It's painful and can cause problems for weeks. After that if it comes back cancerous...its hysterectomy time, plus chemo. I was lucky and did not have cancer. The good news is that 90% of HPV goes away after two years provided that you don't touch your warts to the skin of anyone that will touch you or trade fluids with someone that you will trade with again. The bad news is that you'll probably get it again. The better news...is that with a vaccine you'll never have to through what I did. That was bad enough.
