The STD: Human Papillomavirus
Human Papillomavirus is one of the most common STDs out there. As of 2013, there were 79 million reported cases of it in the United States according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). What makes it so common? It isn’t passed through fluids like more severe STDs, but rather just through skin-on-skin contact. There are thousands of strains of the virus, some are mild and never manifest themselves, some cause warts, and some can cause cancer.
