    The document discusses human papilloma virus (HPV) which can cause clinical or sub-clinical warts. Clinical warts appear as cauliflower-like lesions while sub-clinical warts are flat and invisible to the naked eye. HPV is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact and condoms offer little protection. HPV is a prerequisite to cervical cancer in women, though most infected with HPV do not develop cancer. Treatment involves destroying infected skin and tissue using methods like cryosurgery with liquid nitrogen or application of podophyllin, though the virus itself is not eliminated and recurrence is possible.
