A member asked:
Are verrucas a sign of the dangerous hpv virus which causes cervical cancer in women?

No: Genital warts are caused by a different strain of the hpv virus than the strains that cause cervical cancer.

Warts: Verruca is a medical term for a wart. There are over 125 different viruses known to cause warts. Only a few of them are sexually transmitted, but rarely some others occur on genital skin. A person with warts on fingers is not very likely to spread them to genital areas. The cervical cancer hpv virus does not cause common warts. Genital warts are yet another group, not associated with cervical can.
