Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common viral infections worldwide—and yet, many people still don’t know how easily it spreads or how powerfully it can be prevented. At Lygon Everyday Chemist, we’re here to change that.

Whether you’re a parent, a young adult, or simply health-conscious, understanding HPV is the first step toward protecting yourself and your loved ones.

What Is HPV?

HPV is a group of more than 200 related viruses, many of which are spread through skin-to-skin contact—especially during sexual activity. While most infections go unnoticed and clear on their own, some strains can lead to:

• Genital warts
• Cervical cancer
• Anal, penile, vaginal, vulvar, and throat cancers

How Can I Protect Myself?

The most effective protection is vaccination—and it’s easier than you think.

HPV Vaccine Benefits:

• Protects against 9 high-risk HPV types
• Prevents up to 90% of HPV-related cancers
• Reduces transmission and future complications
• Safe, effective, and long-lasting

When Should I Get Vaccinated?

Age Group Recommendation

Ages 9–25 1 dose if healthy and immunocompetent

Ages 26+ 3 doses if recommended by your doctor

Immunocompromised 3 doses regardless of age

The earlier you vaccinate, the better—ideally before exposure to HPV. But it’s never too late to protect your future.

Common Questions About HPV

Is HPV only a concern for women?

No—HPV affects all genders. Men can develop HPV-related cancers and transmit the virus.

Can I get HPV without having sex?

Yes—HPV spreads through skin-to-skin contact, not just intercourse.

Do condoms protect against HPV?

They reduce risk but don’t eliminate it. Vaccination offers stronger protection.

Is the vaccine safe?

Absolutely. It’s been used globally for over a decade with excellent safety records.
