    neither do I

    Neither do 80% of the population.

    It's about 80 cases per 100,000 of the population

    This is not a sexual health topic so mods please don't move this

    Never knew much about this until Thursday and since then my curiosity has been piqued, we all(80%) of us have genital warts.

    1. http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home/common/sexinfections/sti/215.html
    2. http://www.ndsc.ie/hpsc/A-Z/HepatitisHIVAIDSandSTIs/SexuallyTransmittedInfections/Ano-GenitalWarts/Factsheet/

    Knowing this, would you consider before changing partners, using protection (a lot of people still don't use protection)
    Or where you ever aware of this previously?

    You are a genital wart.

    Are ye happy now!? :D

    somebody on the pi forum said once upon a time, if you've had sex you propably have them, so the op's numbers are probably more realistic :(

    on the bright side you can you this classy chat up line "I'd love to infect you with my rampant genital warts ..."

    +1 don't have 'em

    Where are you getting the idea that 80% of the population have GW (on their bush :D)?

    Where are you getting the idea that 80% = all?

    Did you miss/skip the day they did percentages in primary?

    maybe there should be a poll to find the real percentage (assuming the infected come forward)

    80% of sexually active adults have a strain of Human papillomavirus.
    Some strains manifest in large genital warts, some in mircoscopic genital warts and some in some people have no sympthoms.

    Some strains of Human papillomavirus can cause cancer of the cervix.

    I saw the link in the first post. Where is the 80% figure coming from? Maybe you could copy part of the text in and highlight it [80%] for an old geezer?

    How common are ano-genital warts in Ireland?
    • Ano-genital warts, the clinically visible manifestation of infection with human papilloma virus (HPV), was the most commonly notified STI in Ireland in 2005, with 3,456 cases notified. This corresponds to a rate of 88.2 cases per 100,000 population.
    • This does not reflect the incidence of HPV. Ano-genital warts represents a very small percentage of sexually-transmitted human papillomavirus infections as infections with most types of HPV do not usually cause warts.
    • In Ireland, ano-genital warts are most common in younger age groups: 20-29 year olds represented 65.5% of all cases in 2005.
    • Of the notifications received in 2005, 54.9% were males and 44.8% were females. Gender was unknown for 0.3% of cases.
    • In 2005, rates were highest in the HSE-W (162.2 cases per 100,000 population), HSE-S (111 per 100,000 population) and HSE-ER (101.8 per 100,000 population). However, many people travel from their area of residence to STI clinics outside that area so this does not necessarily reflect cases in those HSE regions.
    And TheBigLebowski 80% means 8 out of 10 sexually active people.... i guess a little math wont kill you. Start-Programs-Accessories-Calculator

    Tallaght_01 is correct, though Thaed also has a valid point, whether her % is accurate or not.

    Sorry to be a pissy pedant (it's the mathematician in me), but where (exactly) are the figures 8 out of 10 OR 80% referred to in that?

    This is the only relevant figure I can see:

    Ano-genital warts, the clinically visible manifestation of infection with human papilloma virus (HPV), was the most commonly notified STI in Ireland in 2005, with 3,456 cases notified.

    And this is the rate:

    88.2 cases per 100,000 population.

    The latter figure is equal to 0.088%.

    HPV causes genital warts

    But not everyone with HPV gets warts. Most don't. You usually get rid of it on your own.

    A high percentage of people who are sexually active will have the virus on their genitals at some stage in their life, for a variable amount of time. Like i said, most of them won't have warts. But while the virus is there, you can catch warts from them.

    Nobody knows how many people have HPV at any given time.
    I think it's about 15% in low prevalence areas. I think the OP is referring to the fact that in some countries 80% of sexually active women will have had the virus (not the warts) at some point in their lives.But it is simply not true to say "80% of sexually active adult have a strain of HPV".

    I remember it being much higher in Africa.

    The link supplied by the op confirms the prevalence of actual warts to be about 80 in 100,000
