Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States, with up to 90% of females infected at some point in their lifetime. While most HPV infections will be cleared by the immune system within 2 years, persistent HPV infection may result in anogenital warts, dysplasia of the cervix, vagina, vulva, and squamous cell carcinoma. This chapter will review the epidemiology, microbiology, progression, and treatment of HPV-related genital disease in women.
