Case Description
Case Summary
- HPV is a non-enveloped, double-stranded DNA virus with over 200 genotypes, some of which can cause cancers of the cervix, vagina, vulva, penis, anus, and oral cavity. While most people clear HPV infections within 6-12 months, chronic infections can lead to cancer over 15-20 years, influenced by age, parity, STIs, and smoking.
