Human Papillomavirus (HPV) affects nearly everyone at some point. It is the most common sexually transmitted infection and linked to several cancers including cervical, throat, anal, and penile cancers. The good news? HPV is preventable and manageable through vaccination, screening, and awareness.

Use protection during sex but remember it’s not 100% protective against HPV.
Talk openly with partners and healthcare providers.
Spread awareness—knowledge is power!

Together, we can reduce the global cancer burden by about 5% — giving everyone one less worry in a world full of uncertainties.
