These were just common examples. This one virus can cause over five types of cancer, each with their own lists of symptoms. This proves the lethality of HPV even if the virus itself is not doing most of the damage.

Post Eight: Now we can shift the focus to the effects of HPV on the body. As said, it’s goal is not to make the cell sick or cause it harm unless necessary for replication. With this being said HPV is still an infection that can kill, damage, or even change the normal host cells.
HPV is most commonly an acute infection. An acute infection is one with a rapid onset of the disease. This would be an example of genital warts. When cancer is caused it would be chronic due to its ability to remain in host cells for years. Most cases of HPV leave within 2 years.
Post Seven: Now we have completed a bunch of replication, it’s time to assemble the virus! For HPV virus, this assembly takes place in the nucleus. This process starts with HPV’s capsid proteins L1 and L2 mentioned previously (post 3).
