Disclaimer for Responsibility of Content

The information on this site has been provided by The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists as a public service. Although we endeavour to ensure the accuracy of this information, all users of the site should consult with a physician or other healthcare provider if you are not sure you understand the information being provided.

In accordance with the recommendations of Health Canada, the Society of Obstetricans and Gynecologists of Canada (SOGC) recognizes that sexual health education should be accessible to all people and address all subject areas relevant to sexual health. As noted by Health Canada, "Effective sexual health education recognizes that responsible individuals may choose a variety of paths to achieve sexual health. They should have a right to accurate information that is relevant to those choices." The www.hpvinfo.ca web site reflects this basic right by presenting a broad spectrum of information in order to facilitate the ability of users to make knowledgeable choices. Users are able to link from www.hpvinfo.ca to many other sites that present information on HPV and other sexual and reproductive health issues. Although these links have been carefully selected, the SOGC does not necessarily endorse the content of these sites and it should be noted that the content of linked sites may change periodically and without notice. Issues related to HPV and reproductive health can be complex and subject to differences of opinion. The purpose of www.hpvinfo.ca is educational and we, therefore, urge users to consider the information presented on this site and linked sites in the context of their own values and circumstances and to make personal choices that are well informed and appropriate for each individual.
