Genital HPV is the STD that can cause genital warts. Unlike some other STIs, HPV cannot be cured, but vaccination can prevent most cases. GARDASIL is a vaccine recommended for females aged 9 to 26 to prevent HPV infections and related health issues like cervical cancer.
The sexually transmitted disease (STD) that can cause genital warts is Genital HPV (human papillomavirus).
Genital warts are soft, pink, irregular growths that appear on the external genitalia or anus and are one of the most common STIs among teenagers.
Unlike genital herpes, which is caused by the herpes simplex virus, or bacterial STIs like chlamydia and gonorrhea which can be treated with antibiotics, HPV infections cannot be cured.
However, there is a vaccine available, such as GARDASIL, which can prevent most cases of HPV infection.
It's recommended that females between the ages of 9 and 26 get vaccinated to prevent HPV infections, which also plays a role in the prevention of cervical cancer.
