Human Papillo Virus

HPV is blamed for virtually all cases of cervical cancer, which kills 250,000 women globally every year.
"HPV is so prevalent that in one study we did with the University of Washington, in the first year of sexual activity, one out of four women became infected with HPV," Hitchcock said in a telephone interview.

In 1999, Howett and Kreider made a breakthrough: They reported that HPV, HIV, and herpes simplex II viruses could be effectively killed by a topical agent � sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), a detergent commonly found in shampoos and body washes. "The significance of our discovery is the insight that SDS may have practical application for use by women. It not only works to destroy these viruses, but it is ten times less toxic to human cells than nonoxynol-9, the current agent used to destroy sperm and other STD agents," Howett said. In addition, she and Kreider discovered that unlike nonoxynol-9, the detergent can prevent human papillomavirus from being transmitted because of its additional properties as a protein denaturant � it actually makes the proteins break apart.

Complications: Increased risk of cervical cancer; recurrence
Diagnosis

Acetic acid wash whitens/reveals warts
Virapap used to identify which strain
