LISTEN TO THEIR STORIES

Why should I care about HPV?

Genital warts and cancer – need we say more? If you haven't heard that certain cancers and diseases are caused by some types of HPV, it’s time you did. For most, HPV (or human papillomavirus) clears on its own. But for others who don't clear the virus, it can cause potentially serious diseases.

Who’s at risk?

About 3 in 4 sexually active Canadians will have at least one HPV infection during their lifetime. Many people who have HPV don’t even realize it because the virus often has no signs or symptoms – which mean that they can pass on the virus to others without knowing it.

How does GARDASIL®9 work?

When you receive the GARDASIL®9 vaccine, your immune system produces antibodies against the 9 HPV types contained in the vaccine. If you have been exposed to one of these types, the antibodies may help defend against developing infection and related diseases.
