Genital warts (or Condyloma acuminata, venereal warts, anal warts and anogenital warts) is a highly contagious sexually transmitted disease caused by some sub-types of human papillomavirus (HPV). It is spread through direct skin-to-skin contact during oral (oral sex), genital, or anal sex with an infected partner. Warts are the most easily recognized symptom of genital HPV infection. They can be caused by strains 6, 11, 30, 42, 43, 44, 45, 51, 52 and 54 of HPV; types 6 and 11 are responsible for 90% of genital warts cases.eMedicinemed1037 Less than 1% of those infected develop clinically obvious warts, but those infected can still transmit the virus, although another source states that 70% of those who have sexual contact with an infected partner develop genital warts.Dubiousdate=September 2009probability of warts from infected partner Other types of HPV also cause cervical cancer and probably most anal cancers.
