Abstract

A high-frequency occurence of different pathologies in­duced by the infection caused by the human papilloma­virus (HPV) infection is reported in GP practices. These show up in different shapes, sizes and on different regions of the body. Most common requests come from patients who exhibit vulgar or plantar warts, papiloma, acuminate con­dy­lo­ma and, last but not least, different degrees of dys­pla­sia of the cervix. As there is no definitive curative treatment to date and because of the multitude of long-term risks, the safest and most noninvasive approach is prevention, carried out by an active vaccination of the general public aged 9-45, ideally before sexual activity starts, at 11-12 years of age, respectively.
