What is the papilloma virus?
Human papillomavirus causes different types of cancers in men and women, e.g. cervical, oripharyngeal, perianal, letterhead, head, etc. Sh. The virus is transmitted through sexual and close contact skin-to-skin
Preventive vaccination in Georgia (women 10-45, men 10-26) is free. Another way of prevention is a national screening program, which includes a pap test and other studies if necessary
Human papillomavirus vaccine is the first cancer vaccine in the world, as the anti-vaxxer anti-science campaign is very powerful in our country, it is the responsibility of doctors/scientists to raise awareness about the types of cancers caused by papilloma virus and how to prevent it
