HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS

This study looked at whether 15-26 year old males and females need all 3 doses of the HPV vaccine (Gardasil 9) or if 2 doses provide similar protection. Researchers measured antibody levels in 767 participants to compare the immune response. The goal is to make vaccination easier…

This study looked at how well the HPV vaccine protects against HPV infections that can cause cancer in Rwandan women aged 18-28, both with and without HIV. Researchers measured infections and antibody levels years after vaccination, and also tested a simple, low-cost way to confi…

This small pilot study tested whether injecting the Gardasil 9 HPV vaccine directly into genital warts could help treat them. Only 2 adults with at least 3 warts each took part. Researchers measured changes in wart number, size, and quality of life over 12 weeks.

This study looked at whether women can collect their own vaginal samples to test for HPV, the virus that can cause cervical cancer. Researchers compared self-collected samples to those taken by a doctor. The goal was to see if the self-test is accurate and acceptable to patients.

This study looked at whether a self-collected sample (like a swab you do at home) can be used to screen for cervical cancer as accurately as a sample collected by a doctor. Researchers tested new DNA markers that measure changes in HPV and human genes to better identify women at …

This study tested two methods to help doctors talk about the HPV vaccine with families. Some clinics got training from an outside expert, while others learned from a vaccine champion within their own healthcare system. The goal was to see which approach led to more children ages …

This study tested a simple idea: give women who haven't had a cervical cancer screening in over three years a self-sampling kit to use at home. Researchers recruited 656 women aged 50 to 65 in two French departments with low screening rates. The goal was to see if offering the ki…

This study looked at whether a mobile app that teaches about HPV and breast cancer can help women understand HPV better and have more positive feelings about getting screened for breast cancer. Seventy women aged 30-65 used the app and filled out surveys before and after the prog…

This study followed over 46,000 women in the Netherlands who tested positive for HPV and had mild cervical cell changes. Researchers wanted to know how many developed cervical cancer within five years. The goal was to see if these women could have fewer follow-up visits without m…

This study looked at how common anal high-risk HPV infection and abnormal anal cells are in men who have sex with men (MSM) who use PrEP to prevent HIV. Researchers collected samples and questionnaires from 304 participants. The goal was to understand infection rates, not to test…
