Kristen Stuppy, MD, FAAP 🦄<p>HPV vaccination is very safe.</p><p>Over 135 million doses of HPV vaccine has been given in the US during the past 15 years. Post-marketing monitoring continues to show that it is very safe and effective.</p><p><a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPV</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPVvaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPVvaccines</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancer</span></a></p>
Kristen Stuppy, MD, FAAP 🦄<p>The vaccine is commonly recommended to start at 11 years because other vaccines are recommended at that age. It works best when given to 9-14 year olds. An additional dose is required if given after the 15th birthday due to the decreased efficacy at that time.</p><p>Ideally vaccination is completed before any exposure to HPV occurs so that your child’s immune system will be prepared to control the infection and prevent cancer.</p><p><a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPVvaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPVvaccines</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth</span></a></p>
Kristen Stuppy, MD, FAAP 🦄<p>Not all HPV related cancers are in women. </p><p>More than 4 out of every 10 cases of cancer caused by HPV occur among men. Every year in the U.S., over 14,000 men get cancers caused by HPV. </p><p>Unfortunately we do not yet have routine screening to recognize these cancers early.</p><p><a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPV</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPVvaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPVvaccines</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth</span></a></p>
Kristen Stuppy, MD, FAAP 🦄<p>Everyone with a cervix should start regular cancer screening at 21 years of age, regardless of their vaccine status or history of sexual activity. This can further decrease risk by early detection.</p><p><a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPV</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPVvaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPVvaccines</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancer</span></a></p>
Kristen Stuppy, MD, FAAP 🦄<p>Cervical cancer used to be the leading cause of cancer death in women, but the HPV vaccine and routine cervical cancer screening have decreased the number of cases and deaths. Since HPV vaccination was started in the US in 2006, infections with HPV types that cause most HPV cancers and genital warts have dropped 88% among teen girls. Fewer women are developing cervical precancers.</p><p><a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPV</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPVvaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPVvaccines</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancer</span></a></p>
Kristen Stuppy, MD, FAAP 🦄<p>About 13 million teens and adults in the US become infected with <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPV</span></a> each year. </p><p>Most HPV infections will self resolve, but some will become develop cancer months to years later.</p><p>Every year in the US nearly 200,000 women are diagnosed with a precancer and another 11,000 are diagnosed with cervical cancer from HPV. Over 4,000 women die in the US each year from cervical cancer.</p><p><a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPV</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPVvaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPVvaccines</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancer</span></a></p>
Kristen Stuppy, MD, FAAP 🦄<p><a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPV</span></a> does not require intercourse to spread from person to person. </p><p>Having close contact with someone with the HPV virus or touching something recently handled with bodily fluids from an HPV-infected person can spread the HPV virus. </p><p>Non-sexual HPV transmission happens most commonly through skin-to-skin or skin-to-mucosa (the moist tissue of the mouth).</p><p><a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPV</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPVvaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPVvaccines</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth</span></a></p>
Kristen Stuppy, MD, FAAP 🦄<p>Most people infected with HPV don't know they have it because they don't notice any signs or problems. This means that people with HPV can pass the infection to others without knowing it.</p><p><a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPV</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPVvaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPVvaccines</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancer</span></a></p>
Kristen Stuppy, MD, FAAP 🦄<p>The vaccine protects against the types that cause the most problems.</p><p><a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/Gardasil9" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Gardasil9</span></a> ® is the vaccine currently used in the US. It protects against infection from nine HPV types: </p><p> - two low-risk HPV types that cause most genital warts</p><p> - seven high-risk HPV types that cause most HPV-related cancers</p><p><a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPV</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPVvaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPVvaccines</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancer</span></a></p>
Kristen Stuppy, MD, FAAP 🦄<p>Low-risk HPVs are often asymptomatic and do not lead to complications. A few low-risk HPV types can cause warts on or around the genitals, anus, mouth, or throat.</p><p>High-risk HPVs cause 3% of all cancers in women and 2% of all cancers in men in the US. There are about 14 high-risk HPV types. Two of these, HPV16 and HPV18, are responsible for most HPV-related cancers.<br /><a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPV</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPVvaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPVvaccines</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancer</span></a></p>
Kristen Stuppy, MD, FAAP 🦄<p>How can a vaccine prevent cancer?</p><p>Cancer of the cervix, vagina, vulva, penis, anus and throat are often caused by Human Papilloma Virus, otherwise known as HPV. Historically 85% of people will get an HPV infection in their lifetime.</p><p>HPV can cause warts, but not everyone with HPV gets a wart. Sometimes they don’t have any symptoms when first infected.</p><p><a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPV</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/HPVvaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HPVvaccines</span></a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth</span></a></p>
