HPV ; Genital Warts: I think by hoc you mean hpv, which is human papilloma virus. There are multiple types, those that cause cancer (16 and 18) and those that cause warts (6 and 11).

No and no: Genital warts and the virus that causes them (certain types of human papillomavirus, HPV) have nothing to do with polycystic ovaries. Genital HPV infections, including warts, involve the external genitals only and do not involve the ovaries. Some ovarian cancers are associated with HPV, but how this happens isn't known.
