HPV, or human papillomavirus, is a common virus that can lead to 6 types of cancers later in life. You can protect your child from ever developing these cancers with the HPV vaccine at ages 11-12.

HPV infections are common

HPV infections are so common that nearly all men and women will get at least one type of HPV at some point in their lives. Nearly 80 million Americans are currently infected with some type of HPV. About 14 million Americans, including teens, become infected each year.

HPV is spread through intimate skin-to-skin contact. You can get HPV by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the virus.

Some HPV infections can lead to cancer

Most HPV infections (9 out of 10) go away by themselves within two years. But, sometimes HPV infections will last longer, and can cause certain types of cancers. HPV infections can cause cancers of the:

cervix, vagina, and vulva in women;

penis in men; and

anus and back of the throat, including the base of the tongue and tonsils (oropharynx), in both women and men.

Every year in the United States, HPV causes 33,700 cases of cancer in men and women.
Prevent cancer with the HPV vaccine

CDC recommends all boys and girls get two doses of the HPV vaccine at ages 11 or 12. HPV vaccination can be started at age 9. For the HPV vaccine to be most effective, the series should be given prior to exposure to HPV. HPV vaccine is recommended at ages 11 to 12 to ensure children are protected long before they are ever exposed to the virus.

Children who get the first dose before their 15 th birthday only need two doses. Children who get the first dose on or after their 15 th birthday need three doses.

1. Most individuals do not have symptoms and the virus will go away on its own in two years (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022).
2. Genital warts may appear on the labia (females), penis (males), or around the anus (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022).
3. Cancer may develop from HPV (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022).

# data[].attributes.body
There is no current HPV test that can determine whether a male or female has the virus. However, a pap smear or cervical cancer screening, can tell a physician if a female has HPV or if she has precancerous cervical cells. With the commonality of no symptoms, most individuals will never know they have the infection. However, some develop warts that can be diagnosed for HPV or they can develop HPV-related cancers (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022).

The best prevention for HPV is the HPV vaccine. This vaccine works at its best when give at the ages 11-12, however, anyone up to the age of 45 can get the vaccine (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022).

Be sure to use condoms when sexually active to prevent transmission from a sexual partner, especially if you or your partner are sexually active with multiple individuals. If you are sexually active, try to stay with one partner to prevent transmission (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022).

Emerging Success - Treatment of HPV-positive head and neck cancers through BRD4 pathway

# data[].attributes.body
In this study, it was found that during the treatment of HPV positive head and neck cancer, inhibiting BRD4 could decrease the rate of translation in HPV DNA and further make the cancer more susceptible to radiation treatment (Nantajit et al., 2022).
