What are the infection pathways of genital warts HPV virus? Genital warts HPV virus spreads through three pathways
Authoritative sexually transmitted disease experts introduce that the HPV virus is an important virus that triggers genital warts and is closely related to the incidence of cervical cancer in women. Clinical studies have also found that genital warts pose a serious threat to the human body, and severe deterioration can easily lead to death. However, in daily life, many people are not familiar with the infection methods of genital warts, so they cannot take corresponding preventive measures, thus infecting the upper body.
Pathways of HPV infection in genital warts
1. Contact object infection: Contact object infection refers to the infection of towels, underwear, pots, bed sheets, toilets, and other daily necessities used by healthy individuals who may come into contact with patients with genital warts or those infected with HpV. Patients with genital warts between the toes often take a sauna, repair their feet, and massage their feet (using a shared pedicure tool).
2. Iatrogenic infections: Iatrogenic infections include infections caused by medical personnel themselves and infections caused by medical personnel to patients. For example, some medical staff in informal hospitals are patients with genital warts or HpV. When infected individuals undergo diagnosis and treatment such as examination, laser, cryotherapy, surgery, or injection, unnecessary safety protection can lead to medical staff self infection. Similarly, when medical personnel inspect or treat healthy individuals or non genital wart patients, due to lax disinfection of medical devices, HpV contaminated devices can be used in healthy individuals, resulting in the transmission of genital warts or HpV.
3. Direct contact infection: Condyloma acuminatum is a common venereal disease, which has become one of the three common venereal diseases in China, and unclean sexual behavior is one of the main incidence rate of the disease. When healthy individuals engage in unsafe sexual activity with patients with genital warts or latent genital warts, they are easily infected with the HPV virus, leading to genital warts.
Experts kindly remind that there are many reasons for contracting the HPV virus, and people often say that sexual contact infection is just a trivial one. And many ways of infection are intangible, so many people are innocent. Here, we still suggest that we take preventive measures in our daily lives. Of course, unfortunately you have contracted genital warts, and you must seek timely treatment at a reputable hospital.
