HPV and Young Women The Open Door to Cancer A Public Health Concern Epidemiology • HPV is one of the most common STD’s affecting the U.S. • Nearly impossible to escape as a sexually active male or female! Distribution • CDC reports 79 million women ages 14-59 are infected with HPV. • HPV’s prevalence in women is among college ages of 20-24 years. Risk Factors • Multiple Partners • Careless Sexual activity • Oral to genital sex Biostatistics A collection of Biological and Medical Data Biological Data Data that is analyzed and calculated to reveal trends, diseases, and risk factors among our population. Medical Data • Preventative and biological impact data can be collected through a series of surveys, surveillance, blind studies, questionnaires, and many more. • Vaccine Clinical Trials Biomedical Human Papilloma virus is a complex of nucleic acid and protein. Integrates with living cell upon entering the body. Biomedical Con’t • Once the virus integrates it begins to replicate. • Most HPV infections result in benign lesions. • Oncogenic cancer causing 16 & 18 is most prevalent in cervical cancer. • Can you tell which one is benign and which one is cancerous? Social and Behavioral Factors Social Factors • Age • Geographical location • Lack of Healthcare vv Behavioral Factors • HPV can be transmitted absent of intercourse. • Non-coital- sexual activity without intercourse. • Coital- sexual activity which includes intercourse. Condoms Do Not Prevent Transmission of the Virus!! HPV can be transmitted through semen and vaginal fluids, oral to genital, genital to oral, and skin to skin when interacting with an infected partner. Look before you dive…….literally!! Policy Education • Knowledge on the subject is still low and often inaccurate. Because college aged students are at a greater risk of contracting the virus, educational measures must be taken to ensure all students are aware of the risks and are better prepared to protect themselves" (Understanding HPV, pg. 459 ). jjj Policy Con’t Vaccination • Vaccine information is also important. • Making sure girls, teens and adolescent women are informed and aware of its availability is a part of the policy put in place for HPV prevention. • “Some states have made prevention education a requirement in schools and among parents”(Women’s Health Policy). kff.org/womens-health-policy/fact-sheet/thehpv-vaccine-access-and-use-in/ References • Trad, M., Reardon, R.
