HPV, or human papillomavirus, is a common sexually transmitted infection. It spreads through intimate skin-to-skin contact, often during sexual activity.
The HPV vaccine is recommended for both males and females starting at age 9 because it provides protection against certain strains of HPV that can cause genital warts and various cancers, including cervical, anal, and throat cancers.
Clinical trials have shown that the HPV vaccine is highly effective, with over 90% efficacy in preventing infection with the HPV strains covered by the vaccine.
Like any vaccine, the HPV vaccine can cause mild side effects such as pain or redness at the injection site, headache, or mild fever. Serious side effects are rare.
The HPV vaccine is typically given as a series of two or three doses, depending on the age at which the vaccine is initiated. The doses are spaced over a period of several months.
Yes, adults can and should receive the HPV vaccine if they haven't been previously vaccinated. While the vaccine is still effective in adults, it may be less so compared to when administered during adolescence.
No, the HPV vaccine protects against the most common high-risk strains of HPV, including those responsible for the majority of HPV-related cancers. However, it does not protect against all HPV strains.
Studies have shown that the HPV vaccine provides long-lasting protection against HPV infection and related diseases. Current evidence suggests that protection could last for at least 10 years, if not longer.
No, the HPV vaccine is a preventive measure and does not treat existing HPV infections or related conditions. However, it can prevent future HPV infections and associated complications.
