    yes you can! you already have HPV! There are more than 100 different types (or ‘strains’) of human papilloma virus (HPV). Each type has a different number. HPV is common. About 3 out of 4 people (75%) have the virus at some time in their lives. For most people it causes no symptoms and goes away on its own. It is much more common in young people, probably because we develop immunity to the virus as we get older.Some types of HPV can cause changes in the cells of the cervix or the lining of the mouth and throat. They are known as high risk HPVs. Doctors call these changes in cells ‘dysplasia’. The changed cells have an increased risk of becoming cancerous.Other types of HPV can cause warts and verrucas. These types of HPV are sometimes called the ‘wart virus’ or ‘genital wart virus’ and they include types 6 and 11.
