If not previously protected, HPV vaccination is recommended at age 11 or 12 (or can begin at age 9) and for everyone until age 26. There is a vaccination available to prevent the human papillomavirus (HPV) types that are responsible for the majority of cervical cancers, as well as certain cancers of the anus, vulva, vagina, and oropharynx (back of throat, including tonsils and base of tongue). The vaccination shields against the HPV strains that most commonly result in genital warts. The common genital HPV virus spreads from one person to another during sexual activity through direct skin-to-skin contact. The majority of sexually active people will get HPV at some point in their life, albeit the majority won't even be aware of it. The most vulnerable age group to HPV infection is late adolescence and early adulthood. There are around 40 different strains of HPV that can affect both men and women's genitalia. The majority of HPV strains have no symptoms and disappear on their own. However, some can result in oropharyngeal cancer, tumors of the anus, penis, vagina, and vulva, as well as cervical cancer in females.
