Basic HPV Facts
HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection. Over 100 HPV types have been identified and are generally classified as high- and low-risk, depending on their association with cancer.
High-risk HPV types cause several different cancers in both males and females. Highly effective preventive HPV vaccines are available in many countries around the world, uptake has been low, and the vaccines remain underutilized, leading to less impact on HPV infection and HPV-related cancer rates around the world.
Target Audience
