Abstract
Session presented on Friday, September 26, 2014:
Human papillomavirus (HPV) remains the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States (Center for Disease Control [CDC], 2013). Approximately 79 million Americans have HPV, with an estimated 14 million new cases each year (CDC, 2013). Infection with certain high-risk HPV types is a direct precursor to cancer of the cervix, vagina and vulva in women and penile cancers in men. Human papillomavirus is also responsible for many anal and oropharyngeal cancers in both men and women, with the number of these cancers diagnosed annually rising dramatically (CDC, 2013). Fortunately, the Gardasil vaccine can prevent the most common types of high-risk HPV associated with these cancers.
