Sexually Transmitted Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Strains Are Among the Most

Sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV) strains are among the most common of the sexually transmitted infection (STI) agents. Some HPV strains (low risk) cause papillomas—warty growths of the external and internal genitalia. Other strains (high risk) cause lesions of mucosal surfaces and are more problematic—approximately 15 of these strains are strongly associated with cancer of the cervix, penis, rectum, vagina, or throat. These high-risk strains include HPVs 16, 18, 31, and 45. You have been asked to give a short presentation on HPV and its detection by PCR (the HPV test) .
