How do you know you have them?

You may not notice that you have warts. They often look like small bumps and may be white or the color of your skin. Most of the time they won't be itchy or sore. You can have HPV without having any visible warts.

What is the test like?

Most times, a doctor or nurse can tell by looking at the warts. In some cases, they may have to take some cells from the warts to look at more closely.

If the virus is on the cervix, a health care provider may have to wipe the area with a small swab. This is called a pap smear.

How are genital warts treated?

There is no cure for the virus that causes genital warts. In many cases, your body will get rid of the HPV virus on its own.

If you have warts, there are a lot of ways a health care provider can remove the warts, but the virus can stay there and can be passed to someone else. Talk with your health care provider about how you can manage the disease and stay healthy.
