Since this time so much has been learned and we have made technological advances with HPV testing and improving cervical screening and patient management. It has since been discovered that HPV is the causative factor in other cancers including anal and oropharyngeal cancers. HPV vaccines have been introduced and funded provincially, yet vaccine uptake is relatively low. Review the efficacy of these vaccines, why there are so many myths and incorrect information being spread about the HPV vaccine and discuss how we can overcome these hurdles.
