Is cervical warts the same as HPV infection?

Patient's question:

Usually, there's no noticeable sensation. It's just that I'm undergoing an annual cervical screening, and the results showed HPV infection. The follow-up results came in today, and a colposcopy was performed. The colposcopy revealed chronic cervicitis, cervical viral infection, cervical warts, and cervical low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions.

Doctor's answer:

But HPV infection is a sexually transmitted disease, which is clearly associated with sexual behavior factors. Good personal hygiene, attention to menstrual hygiene, hygiene before and after sexual intercourse, and the use of intrauterine devices can all reduce the likelihood of HPV infection.
