它是什麼？
正象其名稱所標示的那樣，生殖器濕疣是一種性接觸傳播的病毒傳染病[在中國大陸，習慣於稱它為尖銳濕疣（Condylomata acuminata）——譯者注]。它能夠引起被接觸的性器官長出贅生物或疣子，此外被感染肛門也會長疣。已經證明，在女性這種性傳播疾病與子宮頸癌的發生有關聯；在兩性甚至與口腔癌有關聯。2.
它由什麼所引起？
該病由人類乳頭瘤病毒(Human Papilloma Virus
，HPV)所引起。這類病毒有許多種類型，其中有的能導致生殖器濕疣，有的可以引起癌症。
3.
它如何傳播？
生殖器濕疣常常通過與感染者的陰道、口腔或直腸的性接觸傳染。感染者並不會必定有任何的疣子或其他肉眼可見的症狀。如果疣子出現，甚至沒有任何性接觸，只要接觸一下它們就足以被傳染上。人類乳頭瘤病毒孳生在皮膚或黏膜內，而且能夠通過皮膚細微破損或創口或黏膜感染另一個人。

Human
Papilloma Virus (HPV) - Genital Warts 1. What is it?
As the name indicates, this is a sexually transmitted virus infection. It can cause small growths or warts usually on the sex organs by which the contact has been made, but also on the anus. In women, HPV infections have been linked to cervical cancer. In both sexes they have even been linked to oral cancer.
2. What causes it?
The disease is caused by a Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). There are many different types of HPVs, and some of them can cause genital warts, others may cause cancer.
3. How is it transmitted?
HPV infections are usually transmitted through vaginal, oral, or anal sexual contact with an infected person. Such a person does not necessarily have any warts or other visible symptoms. If warts are present, it may be enough to touch them to become infected, even without any sexual contact. The HP virus lives in the skin or mucous membranes and can infect another person through tiny lesions or breaks in the skin or mucous membranes.
