this always confused me when people would talk about this.
so is HPV Genital Warts?
or is Genital Warts a certin type of HPV?
cause i know there's over 100 types of HPV..
So if you have HPV does that mean you have Genital Warts?
But then isnt cervical cancer a type of HPV?
so you if you have cervical cancer AND genital warts? what? i'm so lost. anyone who can clarify for me lol

    Okay, so there are many types of HPV. Certain types of HPV might possibly lead to cervical cancer. If you have HPV, it DOES NOT mean you will necessarily get cervical cancer. Certain types of HPV are responsible for genital warts. Most of the types of HPV that are responsible for genital warts are NOT found to be responsible for cervical cancer. There is a vaccine for certain types of HPV, and it's showing awesome results, so go get it!!
