Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common STD in the world. Most HPV infections clear on their own, but certain high-risk strains can cause cervical cancer, anal cancer, throat cancer, and genital warts. Medex Neo Clinic in Naxal, Kathmandu offers HPV testing and the Gardasil 9 vaccination.
What Is HPV and How Is It Spread?
HPV is spread through skin-to-skin sexual contact — including vaginal, anal, and oral sex, and even close genital contact without penetration. Condoms reduce but do not eliminate risk.
1. Low-Risk Strains
Cause genital warts. Not cancer-causing, but require treatment for comfort and prevention of spread.
2. High-Risk Strains (HPV 16 & 18)
Responsible for most HPV-related cancers, including cervical, anal, and throat cancer.
