What Are Genital Warts?

Genital warts are a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), most commonly HPV types 6 and 11. These strains are considered low-risk, meaning they are not associated with cancer, but they can cause visible warts and skin changes.

HPV is extremely common. Many people carry the virus without ever developing visible warts, while others may notice warts weeks or months after exposure. Because of this delay, it is often difficult to determine when the infection occurred.

Understanding transmission, risk, and prevention

Genital warts are caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), most commonly HPV types 6 and 11. These strains are considered low-risk because they do not typically cause cancer, but they are highly transmissible through skin-to-skin contact.

Yes — genital warts are contagious. Transmission can occur even when warts are small, not visible, or have not yet developed.
