International HPV Awareness Day
March 4th is International HPV Awareness Day. Inaugurated by the International Papillomavirus Society in 2018. The day has become the focal point of the annual campaign for many organizations seeking to increase worldwide awareness and education about HPV and the prevention of HPV related cancer.
Public awareness about HPV and related cancer risk is universally low
Almost half a million people per year die from HPV - many of those deaths can be prevented
Awareness, education and reducing the stigma of HPV are important first steps in mobilising action to stop HPV
While March 4th highlights the importance of HPV on the global health calendar, our campaign endeavors to keep the conversation about HPV ongoing throughout the year.
