"N95 respirators reduce the wearer's exposure to airborne particles, from
small particle aerosols to large droplets. N95 respirators are tight-fitting
respirators that filter out at least 95% of particles in the air, including large
and small particles." (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-

Which of the following is NOT a true statement about human papillomaviruses (HPV)?
There are more than 200 types of HPV, but only some types cause genitourinary infectio
Infection by genital wart (condyloma acuminata)-causing types of HPV can be prevented
