HPV (human papiloma virus) is not
dangerous for the baby but it could be a
danger for you. Some serotypes of HPV
attack the cervical mucosa (genital warts)
and can cause dysplasions (precancerous
lesions). You can request a colposcopy
with a Pap-test to confirm or exclude
cervical dysplasia. A HPV-infection is
treated locally by destroying warts with a
laser, ice or corrosive substances.
