Genital human papillomavirus (also called HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection.
Most people with HPV do not develop symptoms or health problems from it. In 90% of cases, the immune system clears HPV naturally within two years.
Rarely, warts in the throat a condition called recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, or RRP.
Cervical cancer and other, less common but serious cancers, including cancers of the vulva, vagina, penis, anus, and oropharynx (back of throat including base of tongue and tonsils).
The types of HPV that can cause genital warts are not the same as the types that can cause cancers. There is no way to know which people who get HPV will go on to develop cancer or other health problems.

HPV is passed on through genital contact, most often during vaginal and anal sex. HPV may also be passed on during oral sex and genital-to-genital contact. HPV can be passed on between straight and same sex partners even when the infected partner has no signs or symptoms.
A person can have HPV even if years have passed since he or she had sexual contact with an infected person. Most infected persons do not realize they are infected or that they are passing the virus on to a sex partner. It is also possible to get more than one type of HPV.
Natural treatments for HPV includes natural supplements to boost the immune system like vitamin C, L lysine, L arginine, biofeedback zapping for the virus, neem oil, tea tree oil, emu oil on the wart. Natural boosting for the immune system is the best natural method to control HPV.
