Symptoms Of Human Papilloma Virus
Human papilloma virus does not really have a gender-biased prevalence. It can affect all sexually active men and women, regardless of the gender. HPV presentations are classical, similarly presenting in males and females. [3]
Common symptoms in men and women
Asymptomatic
Most of the HPV infections resolve without causing any typical warts. This way the infection goes unnoticed as it has no other systemic presentations. The body’s immune system is able to fight the strains with low virulence. There may be little to no symptomatic presentation in such a case.
In other cases, where the strain of the virus has high virulence, or the person has dampened defense due to some other preexisting condition, pregnancy, infancy, HIV infection etc., the virus presents itself depending upon the type of the virus.
