Warts are HPV..but..: HPV is a large family of viruses. Common warts are due to strains 2 & 7 but there are other strains that cause flat warts or plantar warts. Different strains only cause problems in their respective favored living spaces. Genital warts are caused by at least 4 strains (not 2/7) & there are at least 7 non-wart strains that cause genital HPV & are associated with cancer.
