A member asked:
How does hpv cause genital warts and cancer at the same time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Double answer: There is good evidence that the wart producing strains just produce warts.However, you get the non-wart strains (associated with cancer) the same way and often never know you have them unless specific testing is done.
