Overview

Virus The HPV-1 virus is a type of virus that is part of the Human Papillomavirus family. It is a sexually transmitted virus primarily spread through skin-to-skin contact, meaning that it can be contracted through any type of sexual activity, including oral, anal and vaginal intercourse. The virus is highly contagious and can be passed on even if the person carrying it does not show any signs or symptoms. People who are infected with HPV-1 may develop genital warts, but they can also be asymptomatic carriers of the virus. The virus can also cause cancer, including cervical, anal and throat cancer. Vaccines exist that can be used to prevent infection with the HPV-1 virus. Vaccination is widely recommended for adolescents and adults, especially for those in high-risk populations.
