What causes hpv and how fast can it kill you?

Will not kill you: U get hpv by genital, oral, oro-genital contact, genito-anal or oro-anal contact with an infected partner.Hpv in itself does not kill, unless getting infected is motive for being killed by a partner who was infected by you.

Family of viruses: HPV is a family of viruses that infect the skin.Those strains that prefer to live on genital skin are often transferred sexually. Some strains cause genital warts while others are associated with various cancers. The primary infection tends to clear in most with a normal immune system, but the cancer associated strains hang around and turn to cancer decades later.
