Presumably these HPVs remain on the vulva throughout childhood, probably accounting for the presence of genital warts in young girls without history of sexual abuse. Presumably sexual activity or insertion of objects such as tampons into the vagina could cause cervical involvement.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
