In May 2024, the FDA approved vaginal self-collection for HPV as a cervical cancer screening tool. This was limited to health care settings. While this self collection option can help address some of the emotional deterrents to a speculum examination, it fails to overcome the remaining substantial clinic access barriers cited among those who are underscreened, including time off work, arrangement of child or elder care, and transportation. Then, the FDA approved the first at-home cervical cancer screening test on May 9, 2025. This test, called the Teal Wand (FDA-approved prescription device), allows individuals to self-collect vaginal samples at home to test for Human Papillomavirus (HPV). But is at-home testing valid? Does this work? A new publication in JAMA Network Open (May 19, 2025) answers this important question. Listen in for details.

What if chronic diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's are caused by infections we've overlooked? We assume chronic disease is caused by genetics and / or lifestyle. However, evolutionary biologist Dr. Paul Ewald says latent viruses and pathogens play a critical hidden role in many diseases. For example, we already know that Human Papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical cancer. And research indicates how the EBV virus shows up in Multiple sclerosis, and chlamydia pneumonia shows in Alzheimer's. Deeper investigation into viruses and disease is warranted and will help with better diagnosis and treatment.Dr. Paul Ewald is also the author of Plague Time: The New Germ Theory of Disease, and Evolution of Infectious diseases.

“Primary care physicians are your first line of defense against cancer,” said Matthew Farrell, M.D., an Ohio State Wexner Medical Center primary care physician and a clinical associate professor of family and community medicine. Prevention, screenings and early detection are crucial and begins with a patient's family history with cancer and other medical issues. “We are thorough and ask about their first-degree relatives, their parents, siblings and children, and their secondary relatives, such as grandparents and aunts and uncles,” Farrell said. “If I see a pattern, a certain number of relatives with the same cancer, especially at an early age, there could be a genetic factor.” A patient with an inherited genetic mutation will then be screened at an earlier age and more often. Dr. Farrell also talked about the importance of children receiving the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine that prevents certain types of cancer. He examines patients to detect skin cancer and melanoma in the early stages. “Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer and it's personal for me; my mother was diagnosed with melanoma three times … and she's doing fine.” Breast cancer and prostate cancer are two of the most common forms of cancer. Dr. Farrell discussed when women should begin getting yearly mammograms, and why and when men should begin to undergo regular Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) tests. Men and women without a family history of colorectal cancer should get their first colonoscopy at 45. “My brother-in-law was 52 when he had his first colonoscopy,” Dr. Farrell said. “They found a large tumor in his colon; it was removed, and he's been cancer free for 20 years now.” Lung cancer screenings are relatively new and recommended for long-time smokers. They are vital because “if you wait until there are symptoms it's very hard to treat and cure,” Dr. Farrell said, adding “I'm fortunate to be part of the Ohio State system and the James where we have experts and specialists for every type of cancer and medical issue my patients have.”

On International HPV Awareness Day, Dr. Nicola Paul hosts Dr. Tando Gaqana, a passionate HPV vaccine advocate, and Daniel Mora-Brito, IQVIA's thought leader in global health, to discuss the impact of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in South Africa, highlighting the importance of vaccination and regular screening to prevent HPV-related conditions in Africa.

In honor of Cervical Health Month, Dr. Janice Enriquez talks with Dr. Marguerite Brathwaite about cervical cancer screening and women's health. She explains that cervical cancer screening involves Pap smears to detect abnormal cervical cells and Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Dr. Brathwaite emphasizes the importance of regular screenings and safe sex practices to prioritize cervical health.

Episode 182: HPV VaxFuture Dr. Zuaiter and Dr. Arreaza briefly discuss HPV infection but pocus on the prevention of the infection with the vaccine. Dr. Arreaza mentions that HPV vaccine is also recommended by ASCCP to medical professionals. Written by Amanda Zuaiter, MS4, Ross University School of Medicine.

Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).According to the World Health Organization, cervical cancer is the 4th most common cancer affecting women globally. Annually, there are over 600,00 new cases and more than 300,000 deaths. The leading cause of cervical cancer is HPV. HPV, or human papillomavirus, is a prevalent virus that is spread through close skin-to-skin contact, mainly by sexual intercourse. It is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States. The term STI and STD are used indistinctively, but some people make a difference, such as Dr. Cornelius Reitmeijer. STI refers to sexually transmitted infection, which can be asymptomatic, and STD stands for sexually transmitted disease, which are the signs and symptoms caused by the multiplication of the infectious agent and disruption of bodily functions. STI is the preferred term, as recommended by experts during the last few years.  Low risk vs High risk HPV.There are over 200 strains of HPV which fall into two categories: low risk and high risk. The low-risk types, HPV 6 and 11, cause warts around the genitals, anus, mouth or throat. The high-risk types, HPV 16 and 18, are linked to cervical, vaginal, anal, and other cancers. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV types is the primary cause of cervical cancer, accounting for 70% of cervical cancer cases. While often asymptomatic, persistent HPV infections can develop into papular lesions which can cause bleeding and pain or cause sore throat and hoarseness if warts develop in the throat.Not all warts will turn into cancer, but the risk of a wart turning into cancer is higher than normal skin or mucosa that has not been infected by HPV.Even though cervical cancer is the most well-known condition linked to HPV, it's important to note that HPV isn't just a women's health issue. It can also cause cancers in men, such as throat, penile and anal cancers. Men, however, are not screened for HPV if they have no signs or symptoms of infection.HPV Prevention: General measures that can be taken are maintaining a healthy immune system by exercising regularly and a balanced diet and quitting smoking.Male circumcision has been shown to reduce the risk of penile cancer in men and their sexual partners may have a lower risk of cervical cancer. Screening: Women should undergo regular pap smears with HPV screening. Pap smear screening begins at the age of 21 and is recommended every 3 years. From ages 30-65, co-testing should be done every 5 years, according to the guidelines by the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Also, HPV test self-collection is now available in the US since May 2024, and it is useful especially in rural areas.The most effective ways to prevent the transmission of HPV is to practice safe sex, using condoms, and getting vaccinated. HPV vaccine. For medical providers: It was announced only to ASCP (American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology) members in the middle of the pandemic. On February 19, 2020, ASCCP recommended HPV vaccination for clinicians routinely exposed to the virus.This recommendation encompasses the complete health care team, including but not limited to, physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, residents, and fellows, as well as office and operating room staff in the fields of obstetrics and gynecology, family practice, gynecologic oncology, and dermatology. Let's remember that in 2018, the FDA a supplemental application for Gardasil 9 to include persons aged 27 to 45 years old. The ASCCP letter states “While there is limited data on occupational HPV exposure, ASCCP, as well as other medical societies, recommend that members actively protect themselves against the risks” among medical providers. For patients: The vaccine is given to prevent the types of HPV that are most likely to cause cancer and other health problems. It works by training the immune system to recognize and fight HPV before an infection can take hold. Gardasil-9® is the brand name that is offered in the US. The 9 means it targets 9 strains of the virus (6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58). It's important to note that the vaccine is preventative, and it is not considered a treatment. This means it's most effective when given BEFORE any exposure to HPV, ideally during adolescence. The HPV vaccine is recommended for boys and girls ages 11-12 but can be started as early as the age of 9. We need to be prepared to manage vaccine hesitancy because some parents may be concerned when you explain the vaccine to them. A study done in Scotland found that there were NO cases of invasive cervical cancer in adults who received any doses of the HPV vaccine at 12 to 13 years of age. To get to that conclusion, they reviewed the cancer data of 447,845 women who were born between 1988 and 1996. The data demonstrated that the HPV vaccine prevents invasive cervical cancer, especially when given between 12 to 13 years of age. When the vaccine is given later in life, it tends to be less effective. AmandaHow is HPV vaccine given?The vaccine schedule is as follows: -For ages 9-14, two shots are given with the second dose 6-12 months after the first. -For those ages 15-26, three shots are given. After the first shot, the second is given after 1-2 months, and the third shot 6 months after the first. This is the same schedule for immunocompromised people regardless of their age. -People over the age of 26 can still receive the vaccine, as the FDA has approved the vaccine for individuals up to the age of 45. With that being said, those over the age of 26 may not fully benefit from the vaccine due to the fact they may have already been exposed to HPV. Still, vaccination can provide protection against other strains of the virus.Other HPV Vaccine considerations:Is HPV vaccine effective?-Studies have shown that the HPV vaccine is nearly 100% effective at preventing cervical pre-cancers caused by HPV 16 and 18.Are boosters needed?-The vaccine provides protection for at least 10 years and boosters are not required. The vaccine is recommended for boys too, as they are also at risk for HPV causing cancers, and administration of the vaccine helps to reduce the spread of the virus. It is safe to administer the HPV vaccine with all other age-appropriate vaccinations. What if my patient misses a dose?-If a dose is missed, it can be resumed at any time without restarting the series. There are no known severe side effects or reactions to the vaccine. The vaccine can be given even if the person has already been exposed to HPV as it can protect against the other types of HPV.Conclusion: HPV is a common cause of cervical cancer, and the benefits of the HPV vaccine are profound. Countries with high vaccination rates have already seen significant drops in HPV infections, genital warts, and cervical pre-cancers. Vaccination protects individuals and helps achieve herd immunity, benefiting entire communities.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

How genomics is shaping the future of cervical cancer screening[Content Warning: This episode mentions sexual assault and medical trauma.]Nearly 80% of people will get Human Papillomavirus (HPV) at some point in their lives. Even though HPV is super common, the symptoms are often subtle or invisible and can sometimes lead to cervical cancer if left undetected. But thanks to new government initiatives like British Columbia's (BC) self-screening program, cancer testing is levelling up.In this episode, BC resident Christina Price shares how an easy at-home HPV test helped her catch cancer early. Then, Dr. Aisha Lofters debunks persistent myths about HPV, and explains how these test kits are making screening more accessible, comfortable, and equitable. Join host Dr. Kaylee Byers to find out how this genomic tool is empowering people to take their healthcare into their own hands (literally!), and getting us closer to eliminating cervical cancer for good.If you, or someone you know needs support, you can call 1-800-563-0808 or find Canada-wide resources right here.–Highlights:(4:25) Christina talks about the steps that happen after receiving her result from the at home testing kit.(8:09) Dr. Lofters explains what HPV is, the symptoms and what differentiates different strains of HPV.(15:54) Dr. Lofters explains the two different methods for HPV screening(19:30) Dr. Lofters talk about some of the inequities and social barriers people face when finding and accessing healthcare.–Learn-A-Long: (coming soon)—Resources:1.

Each year, 13 million Americans, including teenagers, become infected with Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Join us as we learn more about this virus and the only vaccine that can prevent cancer.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection that can lead to various health issues, including genital warts and certain types of cancer. Gardasil is a vaccine developed to protect against HPV infection. It is recommended for both males and females to prevent the spread of the virus and reduce the risk of developing related cancers. Gardasil is most effective when administered before exposure to the virus through sexual activity. The Gardasil vaccine is typically given in a series of shots over a period of six months. It is designed to target the most common strains of HPV that are known to cause genital warts and cervical cancer. The vaccine has been proven to be safe and effective in preventing HPV infection and its associated health complications. It is an important tool in reducing the prevalence of HPV-related diseases and promoting overall public health. In conclusion, Gardasil is a crucial vaccine in the fight against HPV and its consequences. By getting vaccinated, individuals can protect themselves from HPV-related health issues and contribute to the prevention of the virus in the community. It is recommended to consult healthcare providers for more information on the vaccine and its benefits.

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women globally. It causes more than 800 deaths in the UK each year. Yet 99.8% of cervical cancer cases are entirely preventable. Regular screening and the introduction of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination are helping to reduce the number of deaths. With smart policy and public health interventions NHS England have set 2040 as the target date for total elimination of cervical cancer. If that goal is to be met the issue of health inequality needs to be addressed; currently screening and vaccination rates vary between different regions, communities and socio-economic groups. So what needs to be done to share best practice and narrow these inequalities? In this episode of Spotlight on Policy, host Zoe Grunwald is joined by Emma Cerrone, Business Unit Director for Public Health & Vaccines at MSD; Dr Adeola Olaitan, Honorary Associate Professor at University College London and Honorary Consultant Gynaecological Oncologist at UCLH; and Gayathri Kumar, Senior Economist at OHE, the Office for Health Economics.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection and has been a public health target in the United States for some time. As many as 80%-90% of sexually active adults have contracted HPV and about 50% of infections are at high risk of leading to cancer. Despite the availability of commercial vaccinations for HPV, education of clinicians and patients alike remains less than optimal. Join us for a discussion on the current state of HPV vaccination in the United States and how pharmacists play a critical role.  The information presented during the podcast reflects solely the opinions of the presenter.

In a new Voices of UMass Chan podcast episode, Grace Ryan, PhD, assistant professor of population & quantitative health sciences, discusses her research into vaccine hesitancy, particularly the parallels between the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and COVID-19 vaccines rollout.

Suzanne Irene Pastore, M.D. discusses what patients should know about Human Papillomavirus (HPV). She discusses the impacts of HPV as the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States. She also goes over how it is tested through the pap smear, which was developed by Dr. George Papanicolaou during his time at Cornell University Medical College's Department of Anatomy. She highlights the importance of vaccination for teens and adults in the prevention of certain strains of HPV. She also emphasizes why it's important for parents to have honest conversations with their kids and the doctors about the importance of getting vaccinated to prevent cancer.To schedule with Suzanne Irene Pastore, M.D.: https://weillcornell.org/suzanne-irene-pastore-md 

Vi fortsætter sommerens serie om virus med professor Anders Fomsgaard fra Statens Serum Institut. Den seneste globale COVID-19 pandemi har skabt interesse for at forstå virus bedre. Der er rigtigt meget at fortælle, også en del overraskende ting som for eksempel, at vi har store mængder virus indbygget i vores genom. Der findes virus som angriber virus. Nogen virus er måske ligefrem gavnlige for vores immunsystem andre slår dig ihjel på kort tid. Professor Anders Fomsgaard gør status over, hvad vi ved og ikke ved om virus i en serie interviews med videnskabsjournalist Jens Degett. Serien består af fem programmer som blev optaget onsdag den 11. marts og fredag den 13. marts 2020. Det sidste program blev optaget den 15. april 2020. Dette program handler om mæslinger, som er mange gange mere smitsom end Corona virus. Der er en meget spændende historie om Peter Aaby's observationer i Gunea Bisau, HPV virus, som har skabt en kæmpe debat om vaccine og Herbes som måske ikke et så ringe endda. Anders Fomsgaard har været leder af Virus Forsknings & Udviklingslaboratoriet på Statens Serum Institut siden 1992. Han er desuden adjungerende professor ved SDU, og har arbejdet med virusforskning i Danmark, Tyskland og USA. Anders Fomsgaard er desuden aktuel med en bogudgivelse med titlen: ”Det er bare en virus”, udgivet på Gyldendals Forlag.

In this episode of "Matter of Vax" podcast, host Steph O'Connell interviews Professor Julia Brotherton, a public health physician and professor of cancer prevention policy and implementation. They discuss the human papillomavirus (HPV), its link to cancers, the importance of vaccination and its impact on cervical cancer's global footprint. The HPV vaccine, developed by Australian scientists, has proven highly effective in preventing infection and related diseases. The vaccine has had a significant impact in Australia and globally, reducing genital warts and cervical precancerous cases. It also protects against other HPV-related cancers, such as anal and head and neck cancers. Professor Julia Brotherton highlights the importance of the vaccine in preventing cancer, its efficacy and successful implementation worldwide.   Visit Immunisation Foundation of Australia for more information For more episodes of Matter of Vax, visit https://www.ifa.org.au/matterofvax Host Steph O'Connell is a public health advocate with 25 years' experience in strategic communications. She became a public voice for vaccinations when her daughter, Lily (23), narrowly survived W strain of Meningococcal on Christmas Day, 2017. Nine months later her sister, Grace, donated a kidney that has since transformed Lily's life.  Steph's advocacy for immunisation awareness and vaccination became a collaboration in 2018 with Meningococcal Australia and resulted in Meningococcal vaccination campaigns by the Australian Government Department of Health and NSW Health. Lily's story quickly resonated with audiences and became a national and international appeal for awareness, education and vaccination.  Steph's work expanded during the pandemic and today she continues to advocate for improved access to vaccines, public education for lifelong vaccination behaviour and policy reform. MatterofVax, in collaboration with Immunisation Foundation of Australia takes a look at topical immunisation issues on video and podcast.  Listen to Matter of Vax on Apple.  Matter of Vax is produced by Ampel, for Immunisation Foundation of Australia. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Six out of ten Americans have been diagnosed with one or more chronic illnesses, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. While this statistic may seem shocking, even more astounding is the lack of research into common diseases, such as Lyme Disease, that Oakley's client lives with every day. Many people don't know that inflammation in the body can create overwhelming anxiety. Because of a lack of understanding of the connection between these symptoms, people with chronic illness diagnoses are often left untreated or even worse, gaslighted about the very real nature of what they're experiencing. As Oakley reminds her clients and listeners, the physical body is intimately connected with the mental, emotional and spiritual health of an individual. In this episode, she digs deeper with her client into some of the familial patterns that may have played a role in the physical expression of her disease. Healing generational trauma begins with awareness. This resilient young woman was able to identify unhealthy patterns such as body shaming, codependency, and emotional manipulation within her family relationships and has made choices to set appropriate boundaries. Taking back control of her life has increased her self-esteem and given her the confidence she needs to move forward with healthy relationships with friends, her partner, and most importantly, herself. Main Topics Oakley's client discusses her chronic illness diagnoses of Lyme, Labisia, and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) (2:06) The definition of gaslighting and how to validate your own experiences (12:30) The connection between disease and anxiety (18:55) Trigger Warning: Oakley's client shares about her early teenage years when she felt suicidal and struggled with self-harm (23:03) How caretaking can easily become a person's identity, leading to codependency (31:05) Education about sexual health and various strains of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) for female-bodied individuals (40:50) Conscious coping mechanisms and setting boundaries (49:10)   Episode LinksThe Body Keeps the Score- Bessel van der KolkBetterhelp.comPsychologytoday.com Want to learn more or apply to be a guest on Sex, Drugs and Enlightenment?Check out the website!https://www.sexdrugsandenlightenment.comConnect with Oakley:https://oakleyogden.comhttps://www.instagram.com/oakleyogden/https://www.linkedin.com/in/oakley-ogden-7a86b112/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxn6BnlaAAK_i9utOIg2KOQListen, rate, and subscribe!

My name is Advait and I’m a recent Molecular Biology graduate, and currently in the Accelerated Masters Program (AMP). For the past 3 years, I’ve worked in the Campos Lab at the Bio5 institute, where we study Human Papillomavirus (HPV)— the leading cause of ~90% of cervical cancer cases. My current research projects involve the anti-viral enzyme known as cGAS (cyclic GMP-AMP synthase) that is a DNA sensor which binds DNA and stimulates an immune response. It’s a very cool enzyme, and I hope to figure out how HPV is stifling its function because we have some evidence suggesting that. In my spare time, I love to play soccer, but also recently got into basketball (since no one plays soccer in AZ in the summer).

We begin by discussing the ubiquitous Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and identifying high-risk strains. While there is still a lot of research to be done over this virus, Dr. Day describes the estimated prevalence of HPV in the adult population and available screening methods. He brings up the possibility of latent infections and differences in individuals' immunogenic responses. Moving into HPV-mediated cancers, Dr. Day distinguishes HPV-positive from HPV-negative head & neck cancers and discusses the differences in presentation and treatment for each type. HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancers usually present as neck masses with no other clear risk factors, and they can be confirmed through ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy. Treatment options include various combinations of transoral robotic surgery, transoral laser microsurgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Finally, we discuss patient education over HPV and its associated cancers. We address patient inquiries about tonsillectomy as a preventative measure, advice for partners/spouses of HPV-positive cancer patients, and otolaryngologists' role in raising awareness of the HPV vaccine (Gardasil 9). --- RESOURCES CDC HPV Vaccine Recommendations: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/hpv/hcp/recommendations.html

The human papillomavirus, or HPV, is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States. It’s so common that approximately 80% of people will be infected with HPV at some point. In most cases, HPV goes away on its own and does not cause any health problems. But when HPV does not go away, it can cause health problems like genital warts and cancer. In this episode of Population Health Plug-In, Dr. Andrzej Kulczycki shares information about HPV, risk factors for developing cancer, how HPV is spread, signs and symptoms, and much more.

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month! This episode is all about screening and prevention of cervical cancer; and The Docs take an in-depth look into how access to health education and medical care (or lack thereof) can affect specific regions and populations. Cervical cancer is caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). As Dr. Tiffany referenced from the article, "Nobody should die of cervical cancer" as it is one of the most preventable and curable cancers. Cervical cancer prevention occurs in multiple stages:Sexual Education: Health education is the first step to making sure a populace is able to make well-informed decisions for their health and well-being.Vaccination: Teenagers ages 11 up to age 26 can receive the HPV vaccine which immunizes against many, but not all, high-risk strains of HPV, which can cause cervical cancer as well as throat and anal cancers, and genital warts.Screening: All women should begin cervical cancer screening via pap test (Papanicolaou Test) at age 21, repeated every 3 years. Routine screening can detect cervical cell changes in time to for early intervention.Timely Follow-Up: Together, routine screening and timely follow-up are an effective method for preventing cervical cancer. If an abnormal pap or HPV test comes back, a provider may recommend a colposcopy to get a closer look at the cervix. They may also be able to remove the potentially dangerous cells before they can turn into cancer.Early Treatment: Cervical cancer progresses slowly: it generally takes about 10 to 15 years for HPV to develop into cervical cancer. The slow progression is a large reason why cervical cancer is relatively easy to prevent and, when detected early, to treat and potentially cure.Black women die of cervical cancer at a higher rate than any other race or ethnicity. One of the contributing factors is lack of access to gynecologists in their surrounding area and lack of knowledge of what to symptoms to look out for. These social determinants of health have a negative impact on outcomes for Black patients with cervical cancer. Additionally, while there are programs that provide aid for cancer screening, that aid often falls short of providing additional resources for diagnostics and treatments. For more on HPV vaccination, check out our Episode 3: Iatrophobia and VaccinesIf you'd like to read the article Dr. Tiffany was referencing: It Should Not Happen: Alabama’s Failure to Prevent Cervical Cancer Death in the Black BeltFor more information on whether you or your loved ones are eligible for free or low-cost breast and cervical cancer screenings and follow-up via the Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program (BCCCP), visit https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/nbccedp/ or https://bcccp.ncdhhs.gov (for NC residents). Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (SIL) is the abnormal growth of squamous (cancerous) cells on the surface of the cervix.--New Episodes every Tuesday, available wherever you get your podcasts! Rate and Subscribe!

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) causes 5% of all cancers worldwide, and the first vaccine against HPV was approved in 2006. In this seminar, Dr. John Schiller provides an overview of HPV virus and infection, compares the three FDA approved vaccines against HPV, and explains the endpoints used in the clinical trials to prove vaccine efficacy. After a decade of using the vaccine, retrospective studies now allow us to evaluate the possibility of using single-dose vaccination, which could lead to an increase in the general use of the vaccine (implementation), and improve HPV-related cancer prevention.

October 5th - 11th marks the fourth annual Human Papillomavirus Prevention Week.Human Papillomavirus(HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection. It is estimated that three out of every four sexually active Canadians will contract HPV at some point in their lives.This episode features Dr. Amanda Selk, an Obstetrician/Gynaecologist and host of the podcast "The Vulva Diaries".

We recently had the opportunity to interview Rebecca Millecamps, a Marketing Manager at Fujirebio, a global leader in the field of in vitro diagnostics (IVD). In 2019, Novosanis and Fujirebio, signed a worldwide, non-exclusive agreement for the distribution of  Colli-Pee®, Novosanis’ urine collection device for use with Fujirebio’s INNO-LiPA HPV genotyping Extra II assay. This partnership enables detection and full genotyping of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in first-void urine (first 20 mL of urine) collected with Colli-Pee®. In this podcast, Rebecca discusses how urine testing will impact HPV testing, what the benefits are of performing HPV genotyping in urine samples and the future for urine testing for HPV compared to cervical samples. 

Sexual Health Educators Olivia and Yaminah are back for another podcast from the C.A.T.C.H Program. In this episode they discuss and go into detail about the most common sexual transmitted infection, Human Papillomavirus (HPV).

Hey yall. Thank you for stopping by to grab a listen to the episode this week. In the last episode, I talked about STD awareness month. In continued recognition of this cause, The Super Cyto Girl Podcast is featuring Jany Marti from Miami, Florida. She is sharing her cervical cancer journey with us. Almost 100% of the time, cervical cancer is caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). I originally spotted Jany on a YouTube video she posted entitled "Why you need to get your annual Pap smear-my cervical cancer journey." Jany is very matter-of-fact and knowledgable in her video. So much, in fact, I knew I wanted to feature her on the show. Jany has found purpose in her journey and hopes she can help other women achieve a different fate than she did. To keep up with Jany, you can follow her on IG @janymarti and YouTube by the same name. Until next time!

Hele verden er ramt af den største og mest alvorlige virus pandemi i de sidste 100 år. Vi er stadig i starten at pandemien, så der er meget vi ikke ved, om hvad der kommer til at ske. Det har skabt stor interesse for at forstå virus bedre, og der er rigtigt meget at fortælle, også en del overraskende ting som for eksempel, at vi har store mængder virus indbygget i vores genom. Der findes virus som angriber virus. Nogen virus er måske ligefrem gavnlige for vores immunsystem andre slår dig ihjel på kort tid. Overlæge, Professor, dr. med. Anders Fomsgaard gør status over, hvad vi ved og ikke ved om virus i en serie interviews med videnskabsjournalist Jens Degett. Serien består af fire programmer som blev optaget onsdag den 11. marts og fredag den 13. marts 2020. Det sidste program blev optaget den 15. april 2020. Dette program handler om mæslinger, som er mange gange mere smitsom end Corona virus. Der er en meget spændende historie om Peter Aaby's observationer i Gunea Bisau, HPV virus, som har skabt en kæmpe debat om vaccine og Herbes som måske ikke et så ringe endda. Anders Fomsgaard har været leder af Virus Forsknings & Udviklingslaboratoriet på Statens Serum Institut siden 1992. Han er desuden adjungerende professor ved SDU, og har arbejdet med virusforskning i Danmark, Tyskland og USA. Anders Fomsgaard er desuden aktuel med en bogudgivelse med titlen: ”Det er bare en virus”, udgivet på Gyldendals Forlag.

A Health Screening is a test that looks for a problem or disease when no symptoms are present. We recommend everyone have a yearly wellness visit with your personal physician and ask them about any screenings you may need. Pap Smear: looking for cervical cancer cells or dysplasia (abnormal, possible precancerous cells). Begin at 21. If normal, repeat every 3-5 years. Human Papilloma Virus (HPV): responsible for most cervical cancers. Screening starts at age 30 and continues every 5 years. Breast Cancer Screening - Mammogram: Begin screenings between age 40-50 and continue every 1-2 years. Talk to your doctor about family history of breast cancer or other risk factors. Chlamydia Screening: Sexually active women younger than 25. Men and women at any age with multiple sex partners. Screening is done with a urine sample. Prostate Cancer Screening: Some recommend PSA (prostate-specific antigen), but some do not. We will have a full episode on men’s health to discuss this. Men should talk to their doctor about recommendations. Colon Cancer Screening: Options include colonoscopy, fecal occult blood test and barium enema with flexible sigmoidoscopy. Most common and accurate is the colonoscopy which is recommended at age 50 unless at higher risk. You are at higher risk if you have a relative who had colon cancer and should discuss that with your doctor. During a colonoscopy polyps can be removed. Clear colonoscopies can be done every 10 years. Lung Cancer Screening: Low radiation dose CT scan for people older than 65 who smoke or quit smoking less than 15 years ago and who have a 30 pack year history (1 pack a day for 30 years or 2 packs for 15 years) Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening: This screen is looking for symptoms of an aneurysm in the largest blood vessel, the aorta. Men 65 or older who have ever smoked need an abdominal ultrasound to check the size of the aorta. If enlargement of the vessel is found, your doctor will follow up with more tests. Lipid screening: Lipids are Cholesterol, Total Cholesterol, High Density Lipoproteins (HDL), Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL), and Triglycerides. Everyone should be screened for lipid disorders in adulthood and continue screenings every 5 years if normal. Keeping these levels in check will help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke in the future. Hypertension Screening: at each doctor visit, vital signs checked, including blood pressure. Treat if it is high. Diabetes Screening: Have a screening early in adulthood to get a baseline blood glucose level. If level normal, check again every 5 years. If there is a family history of high cholesterol, hypertension or diabetes, testing more frequently may be appropriate. When any of these are high it can contribute to heart disease and risk of stroke. Hepatitis C Screening: All baby boomers (currently 55-75 years old) should be screened. People at higher risk include IV drug user or someone who has had blood transfusions. This is rare today because of improved blood screening practices. HIV Screening: Everyone should be screened at some point, especially if you are at risk Depression Screening: It is a questionnaire that you complete at your doctor visit that helps determine risk. You can also find and do a questionnaire on your own and talk to your doctor if you score high. Also, if you have any concerns without a questionnaire, if you have been feeling symptoms of depression or if you have a family history, please talk to your doctor. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/realhealthchats/message

What even IS a pap smear and where does HPV come into the picture? Listen in for a basic run-down of cervical cancer screening 101 (i.e. Pap smears) + Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) testing.

It’s a virus-type so common that almost every male and female in the U.S. will contract some form of it during their lifetime. The good news is, it’s preventable. But, for some, it can have devastating consequences. We’re learning all about the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). And later, we’ll discover a clinical trial that’s showing promising results for treating active HPV infection in women. It’s all inside this edition of CTSI Discovery Radio!

Episode #10 - Human Papillomavirus (HPV) by CTSI of Southeast Wisconsin

The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the virus that causes warts. Different strains cause warts on different parts of the body. The HPV vaccine, also known as Gardasil, has been marketed as a way to prevent cervical cancer in teens and tweens caused by genital warts.  Listen to HayHouseRadio.com for full-length episodes of Hay House Radio and get free access to the archives on Hay House Radio here: http://www.hayhouseradio.com/podcast

eCareDiary will speak to Jason Mendelsohn, Stage IV HPV Tonsil Cancer Survivor and Founder of SupermanHPV.com, about symptoms and treatment associated with his cancer and crucial facts about the vaccines.

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the world. It is also the cause of cervical cancer, anal cancers, and oropharyngeal cancers; but disproportionally affects HIV positive individuals. But why? What screening tools can be used to prevent anal cancer? Today, we talk to Jonathan Baker, MPAS, PA-C about anal disease, HPV, anal cancer, and High Resolution Anoscopy (HRA). ***Full Transcription on website***

In this episode, Bussai talks to Dr Vakele who explains more about what HPV is, what are the causes, how if affects us and what are the possible ways to cure it.

How a scientific breakthrough led to the invention of the revolutionary cancer vaccine. In the 1980s, it was established that cervical cancer was caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) which is usually spread through sexual intercourse. In 1989, scientists Ian Frazer and Jian Zhou at the University of Queensland began working on the basis of a possible vaccine for HPV Their solution was to use parts of the virus's own genetic code to create a virus like particle (vlp) which would trigger an immune response. Alex Last has been speaking to Professor Ian Frazer about their discovery.(Photo: Electron micrograph of virus like particles formed from the outer protein coat of the human papillomavirus (HPV).

Dr. Alberto Mendivil talks Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), warts (literally) and all. He discusses the vaccine, cancer, and how men and women are both at risk. Tune in for a special re-release for Vaccine Awareness Month.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a very common virus. Nearly 80 million people—about one in four—are currently infected in the United States. Although HPV is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections and is a linked cause of cervical cancer, the infection is often silent. Patients may never know they have the infection but often have serious consequences. Educating the population about the importance of the HPV vaccination is necessary to bring down the number of infections. Hear from Dr. Pahud on the benefits of the HPV vaccination for eligible patients and impact it will have on the community.

The Medical Society of the State of New York invites you to listen to Dr. Sarah Nosal talk about the Human Papillomavirus or HPV vaccine. This brief podcast highlights the fact that the HPV vaccine prevents oral and cervical cancer in women and oral and anal cancer in men. Dr. Nosal gives insight as to the recommended ages to receive this vaccine, the multitude of benefits derived from the HPV vaccine and the differences between two types of HPV vaccine.

Dr. Alberto Mendivil talks Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), warts (literally) and all. He also discusses the vaccine, cancer, and how men and women are both at risk.

For the first time, neurosurgeons at in Canada claim to have found a way to deliver chemotherapy drugs directly to the brain, crossing the famed blood brain barrier. Women infected with hookworms seem to have decreased fertility, while women with roundworms seem to be more fertile. Because parasitic worms are weird. There's some growing evidence that suggest repeated vaccination against different flu strains might diminish the flu vaccine's effectiveness. You should still get the shot, though. Compass is a clinical trial comparing 2.5 -yearly Pap test screening with 5- yearly Human Papillomavirus (HPV) screening. It is the first large scale clinical trial internationally to assess these screening tests in an HPV vaccinated population. 

Human Papilloma Virus, or HPV, causes cancer, and yet our rates of immunization here in the islands is one of the lowest in the nation. What are the consequences of having HPV, and how can getting shots protect both women and men from this? We'll talk to experts about who needs to be concerned about this deadly virus, and why it changes the recommendations for routine care for women throughout their entire lives.

Available vaccines for the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) have proven very effective in preventing up to 90% of HPV-related cervical, anal, oral, penile and throat cancers. Yet, U.S. vaccination rates of boys and girls lag far behind that of other developed nations. MD Anderson gynecologic oncologist Lois Ramondetta, M.D., and head and neck surgeon Erich Sturgis, M.D., discuss their efforts to educate the public and increase HPV vaccination rates.

BHL: Let's Talk About Sex - In this episode Black Hollywood Live hosts Spicy Mari, Drea Renee and Kevin John discuss relationships for the week of May 9th, 2014. They discuss "Hollywood Hotties Doing the Naughty" featuring The Dream. Next, they have a discussion of the most popular STD's including: Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Herpes, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Pubic Lice (Crabs), and Syphilis. They wrap things up with Spicy's "SpicyTip" of the week.

A committee advising the Food and Drug Administration in the US has voted to change the way it tests women for cervical cancer by solely using a test that detects Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) rather than also using a standard smear test which looks for abnormal cell changes. The test is likely to become more widely used in the NHS than it is now. What advantages does it offer over smear tests and what difference will it make for women? Dr Mark Porter talks to Jack Cuzick, director of the Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine and GP Dr Margaret McCartney about the pros and cons. The HPV virus is responsible for a big increase in the number of oral cancers. Some researchers have even gone so far as to call it an epidemic. Mark talks to head and neck cancer surgeon Andrew Schache from the University of Liverpool to find out more about the reason for the rise in numbers. Also in the programme. You are when you eat. According to some diets, not eating in the evening can help you lose weight. But does the timing of when you eat really make a difference? Susan Jebb, professor of diet and population health at the University of Oxford, explains why the time you eat doesn't make a difference to whether you put on weight. Scar free surgery. Mark talks to Mikael Sodergren from Imperial College London, about the latest surgical innovation - natural orifice surgery. Surgery via natural orifices like the stomach and vagina can dramatically improve people's recovery after an operation reducing their pain and time in hospital. Currently only used in women, in the future it could be available for everyone with a robotic surgical device going in through the mouth and then being used to perform operations like an appendectomy via the stomach.

Vincent Racaniello speaks with Professor Harald zur Hausen, recipient of the 2013 Society for General Microbiology Prize Medal for "work that has had a far-reaching impact beyond microbiology." Professor zur Hausen talks about the beginnings of his work on the human papilloma virus (HPV) starting in 1972 with a group he setup to look at the "isolation and characterization of the viruses in genital warts." This group would lead to the discovery of HPV 16 and 18 (the leading cause of cervical cancer) amongst many other types. The discovery of these two particular strains of HPV led to insights into the cancer causing properties of HPV which would result in the production of the HPV vaccine. Vincent and Professor zur Hausen also discuss other virus related cancers including the possibility that colon cancer is a product of a virus and the application of the HPV vaccine to males as well as females. Filmed on location in Manchester, England at the 2013 Society for General Microbiology conference.

Join  Dr.Tabitha Anderson on “Caribbean Health Matters,” Wednesdays  8pm to 11pm, as she talks about various health-related topics affecting our community.Please join her this Wednesday as she discusses  “Cervical Cancer in Jamaica”, Do you know the risks of getting the disease, its causes, how to prevent it, and more!! Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus that is spread through sexual contact.  HPV in most of the cases there are no symptoms and people may not know they have the disease. Cervical cancer is malignant neoplasm of the cervix. There may be no obvious symptoms until the cancer is in its advanced stages. Pap smear screening can identify potentially precancerous changes. There are approximately 40 types of genital HPV. Some types can cause cervical cancer in women and can also cause other kinds of cancer in both men and women. The HPV vaccine works by preventing the most common types of  HPV that cause cervical cancer and genital warts. Health Alert Cancer epidemic in the Caribbean especially cervical cancer Government and researchers need to take immediate action. www.caribbeanradioshow.com

Vaginal cancer is rare, with 2,000 new cases diagnosed in the United States each year. Along with cervix and vulvar cancers, the most common cause of vaginal cancer is the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Charles Levenback, M.D., and Anuja Jhingran, M.D., both professors in the Department of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, discuss the basics, diagnoses, and treatment for vaginal cancer.

Guest: John Docherty Host: Bruce Japsen While vaccines have emerged to treat a cancer caused by human papilloma virus, there is still a need for therapies to treat cancerous tissue caused by HPV. John Docherty, president of Toronto-based Helix BioPharma, tells host Bruce Japsen about his company's research and that of the biotech industry in the study and treatment of HPV, a key virus in the development of cervical cancer.

Good question; however, there is not a “one size fits all” answer because female sexual health involves many factors. Some of the factors include age, past and current health issues, number of sexual partners, method of birth control, and any history of sexually transmitted disease and pregnancy. Most medical providers (and health organizations) recommend that young women have a health exam by a gynecologist or nurse practitioner every year, particularly between the ages of 18-30 years. Gynecological exams usually include an internal and external pelvic exam (including a Pap test) plus examination of the thyroid gland and breasts. In a Pap test, the cells of the cervix (opening to the uterus) are collected and checked for abnormalities and infection. This screening test can detect early changes which might indicate the presence of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) or cervical cancer. Because cervical cancer can be detected early, and often treated successfully, many of the protocols focus on the importance of the Pap test.

Generalised estimating equations have been well established to draw inference for the marginal mean from follow-up data. Many studies suffer from missing data that may result in biased parameter estimates if the data are not missing completely at random. Robins and coworkers proposed to use weighted estimating equations (WEE) in estimating the mean structure if drop-out occurs missing at random. We illustrate the differences between the WEE and the commonly applied available case analysis in a simulation study. We apply the WEE and re-analyse data on pregnancy and HPV infection. We estimate the response probabilities and demonstrate that the data are not missing completely at random. Upon use of the WEE, we are able to show that pregnant women have an increased odds for an HPV infection compared with study subjects after delivery (p = 0.027). We conclude that the WEE are useful in analysing follow-up data with drop-outs.
