What Is HPV?
HPV is a widespread virus that will infect an estimated 75% to 80% of U.S. males and females in their lifetime.
In most cases, the HPV clears on its own. But, for others who don’t clear certain types, HPV could cause:
- In females: Cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers.
- In males: Genital warts, cancer of the oropharynx, anus and penis.
About 21,000 of these cancers are potentially preventable by HPV vaccines.
How Common Is HPV?
- Approximately 79 million Americans are currently infected with HPV.
- About 14 million people become newly infected each year.
