Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted disease. It is more common than Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Syphilis. It is especially rampant among teens who are having sex with multiple partners because they don’t realize how very contagious this disease is nor do they realize how serious it is. 90% of women who have cancer of the cervix are found to have an associated HPV infection. One of the other problems complicating this disease and increasing its incidence is the fact that heterosexual couples are having anal intercourse without realizing how dangerous it is.
