The Story of HPV Awareness
Human papillomavirus, or HPV, is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the world.
It’s something many people never even realize they carry—yet it can have devastating consequences.
HPV is linked to several forms of cancer:
-
Cervical cancer, which threatens the lives of women worldwide.
-
Anal and penile cancers, often overlooked but just as dangerous.
-
Throat and mouth cancers, which can affect anyone, regardless of gender.
-
Vaginal and vulval cancers, adding another layer of risk for women.
Though HPV affects men and women, women face the greatest burden—especially when it comes to cervical cancer.
But there’s good news.
The HPV vaccine offers powerful protection. It helps prevent infection and stops HPV-related cancers before they even begin.
Protect yourself. Protect your loved ones.
Knowledge and prevention can save lives.
