Certain strains of the sexually transmitted infection HPV, the leading cause of genital warts, are prevalent. Genital warts are extremely unlikely to develop without an STI. Through vertical transmission from a mother who has an HPV infection during delivery, infants can acquire genital warts. Additionally, some HPV strains can result in warts on different body parts, like the hands and feet. Genital warts can occasionally develop without sexual contact. However, this is uncommon. Safe sexual behaviour, vaccination, and routine check-ups with medical professionals can all aid in preventing and spotting genital warts and HPV infections.
