What's HPV?
The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a virus that can be passed from one person to another through sexual contact. HPV can enter the genitals, mouth, or throat during sexual intercourse and induce infection and symptoms like genital warts. It can lead to cancers of the vagina, anus and cervix. It's the biggest contributor to cervical cancer!
Why should you get the HPV Vaccine?
If you and your partner have not been sexually active in the past - there is no time better than this. HPV vaccination is most effective before engaging in any sexual activity. FOGSI (The Federation of Obstetric and Gynecological Societies of India) recommends getting vaccinated between the age of 9-45 years, if not already immunized.
If you are already sexually active - it is still a good idea to get vaccinated. Since most people are unaware that they have HPV as HPV symptoms can present themselves years after being infected, they are often unaware of the fact that they can be transmitting the virus. With HPV being so common, vaccination is the best method to lower your infection chances. The vaccine is still effective if you are sexually active and can protect you and your partners from developing certain types of invasive cancers such as cervical and anal cancer. Additionally, it also helps prevent HPV transmission from one person to another during any sexual activity.
