HPV Vaccine for All
In 2006, the FDA licensed Gardasil, a vaccine that protects against four strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) that cause cervical cancer in women. In 2009, another vaccine, Cervarix, was licensed that protects against two strains of HPV that cause cervical cancer. In 2013, the CDC released data showing that the HPV infection rate among girls ages 14 to 19 has been reduced by 56% in the years since the vaccine was introduced. This was true even though only one-third of girls in the recommended age group had received their full set of vaccinations. The protection of unvaccinated women represents a type of herd immunity, but according to guidelines from the CDC, all women ages 11 to 26 should receive both vaccines to protect against cervical cancer.
The human papillomavirus is often associated with warts. How does it cause cervical cancer
Why should young women and preteens receive the HPV vaccines
What are the recommendations for males to receive the HPV vaccine(s)
Cervical cancer occurs as a result of longstanding infection with particular types of HPV. Cervical cancer can be insidious because often there are no outward signs or symptoms and the cancer can only be detected by a Papanicolaou (Pap) smear that examines cells scraped from the cervix for abnormalities.
Recent studies have shown that there has been a rise in oropharyngeal cancer linked to HPV in men. Usually oropharyngeal cancer is linked to alcohol and tobacco use, but researchers have recently found a 225% increase in oral cancer among men caused by HPV, mainly transmitted by oral sex. A CDC report showed that two-thirds of people ages 15 to 24 have engaged in oral sex before they have intercourse. Many young people consider oral sex a safe way to engage in sexual activity but may not realize the potential for transmission of disease through this activity. Studies have shown that oropharyngeal cancers caused by HPV in males are the same types that cause cervical cancer in females. For this reason and to reduce female exposure, the CDC recommends that boys and young men ages 11 to 21 also receive the HPV vaccine.
