HPV is caused by a virus. Virus use your cells to produce more virus, and it does this by putting his DNA in your cell so they read it and make those instructions instead of yours. Basically, the orders in the virus DNA mess up with your DNA and the regulation of your cells, and that can cause a cell to divide a lot and become a cancer.
