The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection. HPV infections are so common that nearly all men and women will get at least one type of HPV at some point in their lives [1]. Nearly 80 million Americans are currently infected with some type of HPV. About 14 million Americans, including teens, become infected each year [2].
