What causes HPV warts?

HPV genital warts occur when certain strains of HPV infect the top layers of your genital skin. These strains are highly contagious and easily spread through sexual contact. HPV genital warts don’t always develop immediately after contracting the virus; you simply become a carrier and develop the warts when other factors trigger it.

HPV warts can also be spread orally, although the virus generally prefers the environment of genital tissues. You can also spread the warts from one part of your body to another. An infected mother can also pass HPV genital warts to her child during childbirth, although this is very rare.
