HPV -vaccination (boys)

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a very common virus spread through close skin-to-skin contact, including sexual contact. While most HPV infections clear naturally without causing problems, some high-risk types can lead to cervical cancer and other cancers affecting the mouth, throat, anus, penis, vulva, and vagina. Certain HPV types can also cause genital warts. Vaccination is the most effective way to protect against the HPV types responsible for these conditions.
