Those that are not cleared and can cause: • Genital warts • Cervical cancer • Cancer of the genitals • Cancer of the head and neck • There is no way to know which people who get HPV will go on to develop cancer or other health problems.

  38. Each year, about 12,000 women get cervical cancer in the U.S. Almost all of these cancers are HPV-associated. Regular Pap tests are important! They can find dangerous cell changes before cancer develops. Two vaccines (Cervarix and Gardasil) are available to protect females against the types of HPV that cause most cervical cancers. The vaccine also works for males to prevent GENITAL WARTS…
