HPV is estimated to be one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in Canada and around the world. Many types of HPV have been identified, with some leading to cancer and others to ano-genital warts. There is now a vaccine called Gardasil available to help prevent infection with some types of HPV. The vaccine also protects against HPV types responsible for about 70 percent of cervical cancers. To learn more, please visit: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) (Health Canada).
