What is HPV? Human Papillomavirus (HPV) includes more than 200 related viruses, some of which are sexually transmitted and are categorized into two groups: - Low Risk- no disease caused in most cases - High Risk- there are about 14 types, 2 of which (HPV16 and HPV18) are responsible for most HPV related cancer s (NIH-NCI, 2022) HPV can cause cancers of the: - Cervix, vagina, and vulva in women - Penis in men - Anus in both men and women - Oropharynx in both men and women (CDC, 2022) An estimated 23.4 million men and 19.2 million women had a disease-associated HPV type infection in 2018 (Lewis et al., 2021).

(NIH-NCI, 2022) Information campaigns, elimination of financial barriers, and school based vaccination programs have only been temporarily successful when used on their own (Kessler, et al., 2021) A survey of college students showed that they preferred to receive information about the vaccine from healthcare providers’ educational videos posted on Youtube, and recommended memes and infographics containing critical information posted on Instagram (Koskan, et al., 2021).
