Is hpv a STD?

Yes, HPV is the most common STD or STI among people. 

Cancer Research UK has found that around 8 out of 10 people will be infected with the virus at some point in their lives. 

Cervical cancer, one result of high-risk HPV strains, is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in Singapore. 

However to be sure, often your body clears HPV on its own. Sometimes, it doesn't. Please work with your doctor to discuss your unique treatment plan.
