"What is HPV?
HPV is a family of very common viruses that cause almost all cervical cancers, plus a variety of other problems like common warts, genital warts and plantar warts. HPV also causes cancers of the vulva, vagina, anus, and cancers of the head and neck. Women and men become infected with HPV types that cause cervical cancer through sexual intercourse and sexual contact. Most women will be exposed to HPV during their lifetime; however the vast majority of people infected with HPV will never get any HPV-associated problems that require medical intervention.

The most common cancer-causing types of the virus are 16 and 18. This is important to know because these two types alone cause about 70% of all cervical cancer. If vaccinated prior to sexual debut, the cervical cancer vaccines protects against these two types nearly 100% of the time."
