Description:HPV is a common virus that can be spread through skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity. Each year, over 10,000 people get cervical cancer from HPV. Fortunately, HPV vaccination provides safe, effective, and lasting protection against HPV infections. It's a series of three shots that protect against the types of HPV that most commonly cause cancer and genital warts.
