STDs also called sexually transmitted infections or STIs are infections that spread through sex vaginal, oral, or anal , or close sexual contact.
Many people infected with HPV never get warts. If warts do develop, they usually come within a few months. But sometimes, they show up years later. Genital warts can be raised or flat, small or large. Sometimes they're grouped together in a cauliflower-like shape.
Some warts can be so small and flat that they're not noticed right away. Most of the time, genital warts are painless.
Some people, though, may have itching, bleeding, burning, or pain. The HPV that causes genital warts usually spreads through vaginal, oral, or anal sex or close sexual contact with the genital area.
Even if there are no warts, HPV might still be active in the genital area and can spread to others. Health care providers usually can diagnose genital warts by looking at them. Sometimes, doctors take a small sample of the wart to send to a lab for testing. This usually isn't painful. Sometimes, warts come back after treatment. This is because the treatments can't get rid of all of the HPV in the body. How long genital warts last can vary from person to person. There are many different types of HPV.
Some types can cause health problems including genital warts and cancers. But there are vaccines that can stop these health problems from happening.

HPV can be passed even when an infected person has no signs or symptoms.
Anyone who is sexually active can get HPV, even if you have had sex with only one person. You also can develop symptoms years after you have sex with someone who is infected. This makes it hard to know when you first became infected. In most cases, HPV goes away on its own and does not cause any health problems. But when HPV does not go away, it can cause health problems like genital warts and cancer.
Genital warts usually appear as a small bump or group of bumps in the genital area. They can be small or large, raised or flat, or shaped like a cauliflower. A healthcare provider can usually diagnose warts by looking at the genital area. HPV can cause cervical and other cancers including cancer of the vulva, vagina, penis, or anus.
It can also cause cancer in the back of the throat, including the base of the tongue and tonsils called oropharyngeal cancer. Cancer often takes years, even decades, to develop after a person gets HPV. There is no way to know which people who have HPV will develop cancer or other health problems. They may also be more likely to develop health problems from HPV.
Get vaccinated. The HPV vaccine is safe and effective.
