2. WHAT IS HUMAN PAPILOMA VIRUS?
 Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the name given to a
group of germs (viruses) that can affect the skin
and mucosae. The mucosae are the moist
membranes that line different parts of the body,
including the mouth, throat and genital area.

3. PATHOGENESIS
 Is the mechanism that causes the disease. The
term can also describe the origin and development
of the disease, and whether it is acute,chronic,
or recurrent.

4. DIAGNOSIS
 Is the identification of the nature and cause of a
certain phenomenon. Diagnosis is used in many
different disciplines with variations in the use
of logics, analytics, and experience to determine
"cause and effect".

5. CHARACTERISTIC OF THE DISEASE
 Genital Warts
 Rara time, warts in the throat, a condition called
recurrent respiratory papillomatosis or RRP.
 Cáncer cervical and other less common but serious
cancers, including cancers of the vulva, vagina,
penis, anus and oropharynx cancer

6. FORMS OF CONTAGION
 Infections by human papillomavirus in the cervix
and vagina usually transmitted by sexual contact;
however, no evidence of other forms of infection
such as: improperly sterilized medical instruments
and sex toys.
 Another form of infection, although rare, is from
mother to child during birth where there are genital
warts in the vaginal canal.

7. PREVENTION OF EACH DISEASE
 The surest way to eliminate risk for genital HPV
infection is to refrain from any genital contact with
another individual.
 For those who are sexually active, a long-term,
mutually monogamous relationship with an
uninfected partner is the strategy most likely to
prevent HPV infection.

8. RECOMMENDATIONS
 Routine HPV vaccination is recommended for girls
11 to 12 years old.
 Girls as young as age 9 can get HPV vaccination.
 HPV vaccination is also recommended for females
13 to 18 years old who have not started the
vaccines, or who have started but not completed
the series.
