Question

Which disease is caused by HPV?

Hint:

HPV vaccines (e.g., Gardasil) prevent infection by high-risk types, significantly reducing cervical cancer risk.

Answer 1

Human Papillomavirus (HPV), particularly high-risk types like HPV-16 and HPV-18, is the primary cause of cervical cancer. It can also lead to other cancers such as anal, oropharyngeal, penile, vaginal, and vulvar cancers, but cervical cancer is the most commonly associated.
