Human Papilloma Virus - How Not Have It
Elizabeth Campbell
Human Papilloma viruses are a specific type of viruses affecting the skin and the mucous membranes, particularly the genitals. There are about one hundred fifty kinds of these viruses and can be generally transferred through sexual contact. Manifestations of this infection are more popularly known as moles or warts.
Different types of viruses from this class have the tendency to appear on certain areas of the skin. It is very important to know that there are some of these viruses, which can lead to cancer; those are the viruses with high level of risk. They can cause carcinomas in both men and women in the genital area.
Some types are viral viruses which can be located in the same ulcerations that they caused. The lesions if constantly exposed to solar rays can develop into malignant skin cancers. The development can be protracted and will not be apparent for a long time. The common manifestations of the virus are the moles and warts that look like growths of the skin. On some occasions, the small thrombosis blood vessels can be seen because of their transparency.
The growths develop mainly on the fingers and on the hands. Having it on the palms and soles of the feet can be very painful and they can remove the natural lines of the skin. Flat moles are differentiated from the distended ones by their shape. The surface of the mole is smooth and very small measuring only to a few millimetres. They commonly develop on children's skin and are mostly concentrated on the face, hands, and legs.
Hair-shaped moles are fine growths, which have the same color as the skin and they are usually located especially at the neck level. Contamination occurs after direct contact with contaminated individuals. Sexual contact is what causes them to spread. The transfer of the virus happens while having direct contact with traumatized areas of the skin.
The growths can appear more often on the skin of the people using public pools, or on the skin of the people working in a certain field, like for example butchers. So, the sexual contact is not the only transmission mean of these viruses.
Because of the fact that the majority of them are sexually transmittable, an individual with many sexual partners could be a major risk. It can also be transmitted from the mother to the newborn, if the mother has genital moles, in which case the baby has respiratory affections, probably by breathing in the virus during the birth process.
The sexually transmitted form of the virus is the usual cause of sexually transmitted disease. The development period, from time of exposure to the appearance of growth may vary from two to nine months. During this time, the infected individual can infect other people he or she comes in contact with. It will do you more harm than good to protect yourself before having any kind of sexual relationship with a new partner.
