"Almost all humans will come into contact with HPV at some point within their lives so there shouldn't be any stigma talking about HPV or the cancers that it causes. As a mother of a teenage daughter and son, it was important to me to vaccinate them before they were exposed to the HPV virus.

Talk to your child's pediatrician or your healthcare provider about vaccination to prevent HPV and the six cancers that it causes."

When it comes to cancer, Early Detection = Better Outcomes. Yet just 51% of U.S. adults 21+ say they have had a routine medical appointment or routine cancer screening in the past year. That’s not just a statistic—it’s a wake-up call.

If someone you care about is putting off their screening, your voice could be the one that helps them take action. But how do you start that conversation? Let’s walk through it.

Lead with love, not fear. It’s natural for people to feel anxious about going to the doctor or going in for a routine screening. (Scanxiety is a real thing!) But fear-based messages can backfire. Instead, frame the conversation around care and concern.

Share your own story. If you’ve had a routine screening yourself, talk about it. Normalizing the experience could encourage someone to go for themselves.

Address the “why nots.” People skip routine screenings for many reasons: Fear of results, cost, time or simply not knowing they are due for a screening. Acknowledge those concerns.
