Are genital warts dangerous?
Most people who have HPV never have symptoms or other problems, but others do. There are several types of HPV. Of these types, some are high risk and some are low risk: High-risk types of HPV don’t cause genital warts. These HPV infections usually don’t have symptoms. They are linked to an increased risk of cervical cancer in women. In women, they are often detected during annual Pap tests. Low-risk types of HPV can cause genital warts. These types are generally not associated with cancer.
