Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted infection that causes diseases that affect both men and women. In the U.K., girls are vaccinated against HPV but boys are not. There are more than 100 types of HPV. Two of the low risk types (six and 11) cause more than 90 percent of genital warts. Other high risk types of HPV (especially 16 and 18) can cause cervical, vulval, vaginal, head, neck and throat, anal and penile cancers.

It's been almost 30 years since Salt-N-Pepa implored Americans to set their puritanical misgivings aside and talk about sex, and yet we still struggle with the subject; that fact is abundantly clear when you consider national HPV vaccination rates.
While the government-funded initiative Healthy People 2020 has targeted an 80 percent HPV vaccination rate for youth by age 15, the national rate for 13- to 17-year-olds stands at roughly 40 percent for females and 22 percent for males. In Arizona, the rates are even lower: roughly 36 percent for females and 17 percent for males.

A high-risk (HR) human papillomavirus (HPV) nonavalent vaccine may be effective in decreasing HR-HPV infection burden in women with HIV, according to a study published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases.
Due to effective combination antiretroviral therapy (ART), the HIV-infected population is living longer but diagnosis of non-AIDS-defining conditions has increased and the prevalence of anogenital HPV infections remains high.
