Cervical Cancer and HPV: What Do People Really Know? – Pink Africa Foundation
“Cervical Cancer and HPV: What Do People Really Know?
Cervical cancer remains one of the most preventable cancers, yet it continues to take lives—often due to a lack of awareness.
At the heart of prevention lies understanding the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), the virus responsible for most cervical cancer cases.
But how much does the general public really know about HPV and the importance of getting vaccinated?
To find out, we hit the streets for a vox-pop.
The responses were eye-opening:
- Some had heard of HPV but weren’t aware it could cause cancer.
- Others knew a vaccine existed, but believed that it caused more harm including an increase in promiscuity.
- Yet, some others assumed it was only for young girls ages 9-14.
This highlights the urgent need for awareness campaigns about HPV vaccination and regular cervical screenings.
Watch the vox-pop and join the conversation:
- How can we better educate our communities?
- What myths about cervical cancer have you encountered?”
