Human Papilloma Virus type 2
Hey there.
Call me Human Papilloma Virus Type 2.
I'm from the Papillomaviridae family.
I'm a warts virus like my cousin HPV-1.
I'm one of the types that cause common warts.
They are on your skin.
I get in through cuts and scrapes,
like when you fall down.
People used to think that toads caused warts.
But it was me.
