Do hpv strains that cause warts also cause cancer, or is it some strains cause cancer, and others cause warts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different types of HPV cause warts (mostly HPV 6 and 11) and cancer (many types, most commonly HPV 16, 18, and others). Your country has the world's highest rate of HPV vaccination, and if you have been immunized, you are immune to the 9 types that cause 90% of warts and 90% of cancers. If not yet vaccinated, do it now!
