What is the HPV vaccine?
HPV vaccine is a vaccine to help prevent cervical cancer and genital papilloma, genital warts caused by human papilloma virus (HPV); Infection of the skin and mucosal epithelial cells, is associated with cervical abnormalities (including precancerous lesions, cancer), warts, and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. HPV is also associated with other cancers such as squamous cell cancers of the anus, vulva, vagina, penis, and head and neck cancers.HPV virus is mainly transmitted through sexual contact: skin-to-skin contact, oral mucosa, oropharynx or contact with the penis, uterus, vagina, anus of infected people. Kissing or touching your partner's genitals with your mouth can also spread the HPV virus.
In addition, this virus can also be transmitted non-sexually such as nail clippers, biopsy staplers, underwear...
HPV can also be transmitted vertically from mother to child during childbirth and causes papillomatosis of the respiratory tract in neonates.
Most genital HPV infections are completely harmless and go away on their own. But certain types of HPV can lead to genital warts or certain types of cancer. Two types of HPV (types 6 and 11) cause most cases of genital warts. Genital warts are visible warts on the genitals of men and women. Warts are not life-threatening but can be difficult to deal with because of the potential for re-infection after treatment.
More than 10 strains of HPV can lead to cancer, of which 2 specific strains (types 16 and 18) lead to the majority of cancers. This is called high-risk HPV. Cervical cancer is most commonly associated with HPV, but HPV can also cause cancers of the vulva, vagina, penis, anus, mouth, and pharynx. HPV types 16 and 18 are also the two main types that cause cervical cancer and are also the cause of cancers such as: vulvar cancer (50%), vaginal cancer (65%), cancer oropharynx (70%).
So far, vaccination is the most effective measure for women to actively prevent this dangerous disease. The HPV vaccine is quite safe and can be highly effective in protecting children, women, and men from HPV-related illnesses.
