✅ The HPV awareness campaign was a huge success! HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) globally. It affects both men and women and can lead to several types of cancers, including:
* Cervical cancer (the most well-known)
* A**l cancer
* Pe**le cancer
* Throat (oropharyngeal) cancer
* Vaginal and vulvar cancers

There are over 100 types of HPV. Some types cause ge***al warts, while others are considered high-risk due to their link with cervical cancer.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the incredible partners who helped make this campaign a success.
