According to a recent study by the American Cancer Society, less than a third of men and women in the general population have ever heard of HPV; of the people who have, few are aware how it is transmitted. Even fewer knew that certain types of HPV cause cervical and anal cancer.
The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada gives you all the facts about HPV, how it is transmitted and how it can be prevented.
In Canada it is estimated that 2% of sexually active young women have genital warts and that the prevalence for cancer-causing types of HPV in different groups of females ranges from 11% to 25%.
