Most people who have a genital HPV infection do not know they are infected. The virus lives in the skin or mucus membranes and usually causes no symptoms. Other people get visible genital warts. (Source: excerpt from HPV: DSTD)
Like many STDs, genital HPV infections often do not have visible signs and symptoms. One study sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) reported that almost half of the women infected with HPV had no obvious symptoms. People who are infected but who have no symptoms may not know they can transmit HPV to others or that they can develop complications from the virus.

Genital warts (condylomata acuminata or venereal warts) are the most easily recognized sign of genital HPV infection. Many people, however, have a genital HPV infection without genital warts. (Source: excerpt from Human Papillomavirus and Genital Warts, NIAID Fact Sheet: NIAID)
Some types of HPV cause common skin warts, such as those found on the hands and soles of the feet. These types of HPV do not cause genital warts. (Source: excerpt from Human Papillomavirus and Genital Warts, NIAID Fact Sheet: NIAID)
In women, the warts occur on the
outside and inside of the vagina, on the opening (cervix) to the
womb (uterus), or around the anus. In men, genital warts are less
common. If present, they usually are seen on the tip of the penis.
They also may be found on the shaft of the penis, on the scrotum, or
around the anus. Rarely, genital warts also can develop in the mouth
or throat of a person who has had oral sex with an infected person.
Genital warts often occur in clusters and can be very tiny
or can spread into large masses in the genital or anal area.
