Preventing HPV includes vaccination, practicing safe sex by using condoms, and reducing the number of sexual partners to lower the risk of infection.

Treatment of HPV

There is no specific treatment for the HPV virus itself, but healthcare providers can treat health issues caused by HPV, such as genital warts or abnormal cervical cell changes.

Diagnosis of HPV

HPV diagnosis is usually made through a Pap smear or an HPV DNA test, which can detect the presence of high-risk HPV types in cervical cells.
