Insufficient knowledge of Human Papillomavirus among reproductive-aged women from Arak, Iran
The level of understanding in terms of the incidence and prevention was evaluated "insufficient" in our study. The findings highlight the importance of further campaigns to improve the awareness of HPV among Iranian women. Vaccination programs should be seriously considered to prevent HPV infection and its complications like cervical cancer.
