Vax 2 Stop Cancer

Men’s Health Week starts today. 💙

When people think about HPV, they often think about cervical cancer…but HPV affects men too!

HPV can cause several types of cancer in men, including oropharyngeal (throat), a**l, and pe**le cancers. HPV can also cause ge***al warts. In fact, HPV related throat cancer is the most commonly diagnosed HPV -associated cancer surpassing cervical cancer diagnoses. HPV vaccination can prevent HPV-related cancers before they start.

Follow along this week as we share more facts about HPV and men’s health!

Did you know HPV can cause 6 types of cancer…including cervical and a**l cancer?

That’s why screening matters.

A Pap smear looks for abnormal cervical cells, an HPV test looks for high-risk HPV infections, and an a**l Pap smear looks for abnormal cells in the a**l ca**l. While these tests are different, they all help identify changes that could lead to cancer if left untreated.

HPV is responsible for almost all cervical cancers and many a**l cancers, but finding abnormal cells early can help prevent cancer from developing.

Talk with your healthcare provider about which screenings may be right for you. 💜
