As many as <strong>80% people<\/strong> will come into contact with it during their lifetime. Infection usually occurs as early as in young people, after the onset of sexual activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>- HPV transmission is mainly through sexual contact. The virus can also be transmitted by body-to-body contact in genital areas<\/em> - points out <strong>Micha\u0142 Domaszewski<\/strong>, general practitioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>HPV does not choose the sex!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It's not just a cervical cancer problem in women - boys\/men are <strong>equally exposed<\/strong> to infection and its serious consequences, such as: <strong>Penile, anal, throat cancer,<\/strong> whether the development of genital warts, known as <strong>condylomata<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaccinating boys also protects women, as vaccinated men do not infect them with HPV. By breaking the chain of infection, they help to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer and other cancers caused by the virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong> Vaccination is the key to protection!<br><\/strong>HPV vaccination is an investment in the health of future generations.  Countries that implement vaccination have even recorded a <strong>90% decrease in infections<\/strong>. In Poland, the vaccination programme covers girls and boys from the age of 9 and up to the age of 14. In addition, the National Health Fund reimburses the Cervarix 2-valent vaccine for those aged between 9 and 18 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of 1 June 2023, as of 13.09.2024, the following had been vaccinated <strong>127 581<\/strong> (37.39%) boys and <strong>213 672<\/strong> (62.61%) of girls aged 9-18 years.
