HPV and HPV Vaccine: What you need to know

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a very common virus transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, usually during intimate activity. There are over 100 types of HPV—about 40 affect the genital area. Some types cause genital warts, while at least 13 high-risk types can lead to cancers, including cervical, anal, vaginal, vulvar, penile, and throat cancers.

Studies, including those by Chesson et al., estimate that up to 80% of sexually active individuals—both men and women—will acquire HPV at some point in their lives, even with only one partner.

👉 The good news: HPV infection is preventable.
Getting the HPV vaccine at a younger age provides the best protection, ideally before exposure to the virus.
