According to estimates, 70% to 80% of sexually active people become infected in the course of their lives, and even more if they frequently change partners. HPV infects the skin or mucous membranes. Most infections are asymptomatic and the virus usually disappears spontaneously. However, some infections can lead to permanent symptoms.    <\/h3>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Genital warts<\/h2>\n\n<p>HPV types with &#8220;low risk&#8221; can cause genital warts (condylomas). These appear in the external genital and anal area as cauliflower-like growths of varying sizes. Genital warts usually cause no symptoms, rarely itching or burning.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HPV-associated cancers<\/h2>\n\n<p>Some &#8220;high risk&#8221; HPV types can trigger certain precancerous stages and diseases. These include cervical cancer and various other cancers in the anal and genital area and in the throat. HPV-associated cancers can particularly affect people with immune deficiencies.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protection through HPV vaccination<\/h2>\n\n<p>The vaccination protects against the nine HPV types that most frequently cause genital warts and cancers in the genital tract. The risk of infection with HPV is highest at the beginning of sexual activity. The HPV vaccination is therefore most beneficial if it is given before the first sexual contact.  <\/p>\n\n<p>You can also come for vaccination without an appointment. Otherwise you can book a <strong>test and counselling appointment:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/mycheckin.ch\/en\/book-appointment\/\" style=\"background-color:#c2006b\">Book appointment<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Infections with human papillomaviruses (HPV) are very common.
