Causes of Genital Warts


Genital warts are caused by the Genital Warts (HPV). HPV is a family of more than 80 common viruses. Many types of HPV cause harmless Plantar Warts. These warts are often found on the fingers or feet. Only a few types are thought to cause genital warts.

HPV is easily spread during oral, genital, or anal sex with an infected partner. About two-thirds of people who have sex with a partner who has genital warts will also develop them. Warts can take several weeks or months to appear.
