HPV Prevention Starts With Clear Information

Vaccination, screening, and informed health choices may help reduce HPV-related risks and support long-term health.

Prevention Matters

HPV prevention strategies may help reduce the risk of certain HPV-related health problems.

Informed Choices Help

Vaccination, screening, and awareness can work together as part of a prevention approach.

Ask Questions Early

A licensed healthcare professional can help you understand what prevention options may be appropriate for you.

1. How HPV Prevention Works

HPV can spread through intimate skin-to-skin contact. Prevention strategies may help reduce risk, but they do not eliminate risk completely.

  • HPV vaccination may help protect against certain HPV types.
  • Screening may help identify changes that need follow-up.
  • Health habits and regular care can support overall well-being.

2. HPV Vaccination

HPV vaccines are designed to help protect against HPV types associated with certain cancers and other HPV-related conditions.

  • Vaccination recommendations vary by age, location, and health history.
  • Some adults may still be eligible depending on medical guidance.
  • Ask a licensed healthcare professional what is appropriate for you.

3. Screening Still Matters

Even after vaccination, screening may still be recommended. Vaccines do not protect against every HPV type.

  • Screening may help detect cell changes early.
  • Recommendations can vary by age and region.
  • Screening and vaccination can complement each other.

4. Healthy Prevention Habits

Everyday choices can support overall health and may contribute to risk reduction.

  • Practice safer sex.
  • Avoid smoking.
  • Keep up with recommended check-ups.
  • Discuss screening and vaccination with a healthcare professional.
