Awareness of HPV and HPV vaccine among women with high-risk HPV types in the Mediterranean region
The fact that even women with a positive HPV test who are referred to the gynecological oncology clinic and who are in risk groups for cervical cancer have limited knowledge about HPV and the HPV vaccine shows how important it is to raise awareness in society about this issue. The use of social media, particularly the creation of content by healthcare professionals, appears to be a crucial measure for raising awareness of HPV and the HPV vaccine.
