The human papillomavirus includes 100 different types and among these around 30 different types cause infection in the genital areas. Genital hpv infection is observed in the form of visible genital warts which can be identified from hpv pictures. These genital warts are caused by the hpv type 6 and 11 viruses.

Hpv pictures reflect the common symptoms of hpv which include genital warts. These warts are clustered and are cauliflower like. The genital warts are observed in areas like the penis, vagina, and perineum area along with the anus. These genital warts are flesh colored and quite soft and moist. These warts erupt within weeks or months following the infection.

The genital warts observed in the hpv pictures indicate that the warts can appear on the cervix, vulva and inner regions of the vagina and the anus among women. Among men these can appear on the regions of the scrotum or the penis. In many cases these warts may not be easily noticeable to the naked eye and so people having these warts may not even be aware of them.

In rare cases a pregnant woman may transmit the warts to the newborn child through childbirth. Transmission of this infection cannot occur through contact with toilet seats, doorknobs and towels. Hpv pictures can help pass information about this condition and generate awareness among people.

Hpv pictures of warts also reflect that the presence of warts is an indication of presence of active virus. The presence of warts also indicates that the condition is extremely contagious. The warts may erupt several weeks or even months after an exposure to the infection. Using condoms can provide some degree of protection against genital warts.

Indulging in sexual activity in a mutually monogamous relationship with someone who is not infected is also a way of preventing this condition. Physical examination of genital warts is done for detection of the condition and a Pap smear examination can help detect the presence of this condition.
