Important information about preventing cervical cancer:

1. How is HPV related to cervical cancer?

• There are more than 100 types of HPV, but only 14 high-risk types, especially types 16 and 18, are known to cause cervical cancer. Other high-risk types include 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 58, 59, 66, and 68.
• Not everyone infected with high-risk HPV will develop cervical cancer. About 80-90% of HPV infections clear up on their own.
• HPV is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, primarily through sexual activity. Once the virus enters the body through the genital mucosa, it can infect the cells, leading to slow changes in the cells over a period of 10-20 years, from initial infection to precancerous stages and eventually to cancer.
• HPV is also associated with anal, vulvar, and vaginal cancers.

2. Can we prevent cervical cancer?

• Vaccination is the first line of defense to prevent HPV infection.
• Screening for cervical cancer can detect abnormal tissue and high-risk HPV strains. Early detection and treatment can prevent progression to cancer.

3. Who should receive the HPV vaccine?

• Group 1: Individuals aged 9-26, both males and females. Vaccination is most beneficial if administered before sexual activity.

• Group 2: Women aged over 26, who have been sexually active, up to age 45. Although the effectiveness of vaccination in this group may be lower, it can still provide some protection if they have not been previously infected with high-risk HPV types 16 and 18.

• Group 3: Men who have sex with men can also receive the vaccine.
• Group 4: Women who have undergone cervical cancer screening, had abnormal results, or received treatment for abnormal cervical tissue can still benefit from vaccination to prevent recurrence.

• Group 5: Women who have undergone a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) can still receive the HPV vaccine to prevent cervical and external genitalia cancers.
