HPV Knowledge and Awareness

HPV (human papillomavirus) is a common virus that affects many people and can cause certain cancers and genital warts. Knowledge and awareness about HPV involve understanding how it spreads, its potential health risks, and how vaccination can prevent infection. Being informed helps individuals make educated decisions about sexual health, screenings, and vaccination, reducing the risk of serious health issues. Despite its prevalence, many remain unaware of HPV’s implications. Increasing awareness encourages proactive health measures and reduces stigma, ultimately helping prevent HPV-related diseases through better understanding and prevention strategies.
