I just read an article that said 90% of genital warts are HPV types 6 and 11. I was just wondering if anybody knows if 6 and 11 are the ones that cause the big warts you see on the net. I have very tiny warts that have not grown in size in two years and they look nothing like the pics on the internet. They said 6 and 11 are the least likely to cause cancer. Since mine are super tiny I'm worried that mine could be the cancer causing type. Anybody have knowledge on this one?

I think the cancer causing hpv doesnt cause warts, only abnormal cells. I also believe that the big warts on the internet are in extreme cases in hpv patients.

Warts indicate a strain of HPV infection (as I'm sure you know) and that can trigger an abnormal pap test. That's how they found mine. It's important to follow up and get the tests they recommend.
