Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in Canada and worldwide. Many types of HPV have been identified, with some leading to cancer and others to skin lesions such as anogenital warts.

In Canada, two vaccines are available to help prevent some types of HPV, including the ones that cause 70% of cervical cancers and 70-90% of anogenital warts.
