Condylomata acuminate, more commonly known as genital warts (or venereal warts), are caused by HPV, a large group of viruses. About 30 viruses in this group are sexually transmitted, infecting the genital area, vulva, labia, or anus, and surrounding tissues. At least 10 of the known 30 HPV types can lead to development of cervical cancer. Two strains account for about 70% of HPV-related cancer cases and are linked with abnormal Pap smears, indicating cancer of the cervix. Cancer of the anus and penis is also possible with HPV.
