HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection
You can get HPV by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the virus.
In most cases, HPV goes away on its own and does not cause any health problems.
HPV does resolve on it’s own sometimes, but the only way to know is to get the pap smear. And yes, people who are having anal sex are getting ‘anal paps’ now, too.
