Hi,

Genital warts is a highly contagious sexually transmitted infection caused by some sub-types of human papillomavirus (HPV).

It is spread through direct skin-to-skin contact during oral, genital, or anal sex with an infected partner.

The viral particles are able to penetrate the skin and mucosal surfaces through microscopic abrasions in the genital area, which occur during sexual activity.

Let us know if you need any other information.

Regards.
