There are different types of papillomavirus (HPV), classified according to their risk of causing cancer in humans. The aim of vaccination is to offer protection against the most dangerous HPVs, in addition to cervical screening for women. Vaccination is recommended for teenagers (girls and boys) aged 11 to 19, and is all the more effective if they have not been exposed to the risk of infection. For men who have homosexual relations, vaccination is recommended up to the age of 26. For more information, talk to your doctor.
