Overview
Most people become infected with various cutaneous HPV types during childhood. Papillomaviruses have a sturdy outer protein shell or "capsid" that renders them capable of lingering in the environment for long periods of time. Avoiding contact with contaminated surfaces, such as the floors of communal showers or airport security lines, might reduce the risk of cutaneous HPV infection. Treating common warts soon after they first appear may also reduce the spread of the infection to additional sites.
Genital HPV infections may be distributed widely over genital skin and mucosal surfaces, and transmission can occur even when there are no overt symptoms. Several strategies should be employed to minimize the risk of developing diseases caused by genital HPVs:
Prevention
Primary preventive measures to prevent HPV infection include the following:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
Primary Prevention | Recommendations |

Other lifestyle measures |
The CDC specifically recommends:[12]
- Condoms used consistently and correctly can lower the chances of acquiring and transmitting HPV and developing HPV-related diseases (e.g., genital warts or cervical cancer). However, because HPV can infect areas not covered by a condom, condoms might not fully protect against HPV.
- Limiting the number of sex partners can reduce the risk for HPV. However, even persons with only one lifetime sex partner can get HPV.
- Abstaining from sexual activity is the most reliable method for preventing genital HPV infection
Risk for travellers
Transmission of HPV occurs most commonly through sexual activity.
Vaccine
- Two vaccines against HPV infection are available.
- Bivalent (2 genotypes); 2 doses protect against genital cancer.
- Tetravalent (4 genotypes); 3 doses protect against genital cancers and warts.
- 9-valent (9 genotypes); 2 doses (at 0- and 6–12-month intervals), protect against most of the types that cause genital cancers and warts
- The vaccines are intended primarily for girls 9-14 years of age. Catch-up vaccination is indicated through age 26 years for those not vaccinated previously.
- Consider 3 doses in immunocompromised patients.
