Genital warts and HPV

HPV, visible warts and an abnormal cervical screen are related but not interchangeable, and pregnancy can change which treatments or follow-up are suitable.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

Arrange examination for a new lesion or bleeding and keep recommended cervical follow-up. Do not apply ordinary hand-or-foot wart medicine to genital skin.

What changes the answer

  • The named infection or vaccine and the date and closeness of exposure
  • Symptoms, vaccination or immunity history, pregnancy week and test results
  • Work, household, travel or outbreak context and the time-sensitive options available
