@vaishalisood @QuintFit @ICMRDELHI @TheQuint Two HPV vaccines are currently WHO-prequalified and licensed for use in India: Cervarix and Gardasil. These vaccines protect against the two high-risk HPV types responsible for more than 80% of cervical cancer in India.

@singhvatsala @QuintFit @ICMRDELHI @TheQuint Ideal age for vaccination is 9-14 years for adolescent girls. They should be vaccinated before the initiation of sexual activity. Catch-up vaccine can be given up to 26 years, which is effective only if the girl is not sexually active. #LetsTalkCervicalCancer #WorldCancerDay

@ameerahasspoken @QuintFit @ICMRDELHI @TheQuint 3 major trials–Future I/II, Patricia & Costa Rica–have provided sufficient evidence to establish efficacy of vaccine. Trials in India are underway. The vaccine provides lifetime immunity against HPV, if schedule for vaccination is complete.#LetsTalkCervicalCancer #WorldCancerDay

@Parul_RajeevM @QuintFit @ICMRDELHI @TheQuint No. Genital warts may occur due to infection with HPV. However, most of these are due to low-risk HPV types. Cervical cancer is caused by high-risk HPV types. #LetsTalkCervicalCancer #WorldCancerDay

@sabikanaqvi @QuintFit @ICMRDELHI @TheQuint HPV vaccine produces antibodies against the virus and provides immunity. The HPV vaccine gives 90% protection and hence is highly effective. Screening is invariably recommended for all women over the age of 30.

@Divyanie @QuintFit @ICMRDELHI @TheQuint Cervical cancer is caused by #HPV, which is a sexually transmitted agent. Besides immunisation, for prevention, risk-reducing behaviour should be adopted like avoiding unprotected sex. #LetsTalkCervicalCancer #WorldCancerDay

@ccam_cervical @PriyashaBanerji @QuintFit @ICMRDELHI @TheQuint @GirlRisingIndia @ChangeOrg_India @myrighttochoice HPV vaccination is the primary mode of cervical cancer prevention. If girls are vaccinated at the right age (9-14 years), it will be highly effective in preventing the cancer. Screening is also recommended along with it for the age group 30-65 years. #LetsTalkCervicalcancer

@SaakhiChadha @QuintFit @ICMRDELHI @TheQuint There are three methods of cervical cancer screening – Pap test, VIA (visual test using acetic acid) and HPV DNA testing. According to Government of India guidelines, screening should be done once every 5 years for women aged 30-59 years. #LetsTalkCervicalCancer #WorldCancerDay

@QuintFit @ICMRDELHI @TheQuint @pinthecreep Cervical cancer is a disease which affects uterine cervix–the mouth of uterus. HPV is the causative agent in 99% of the cases. However, there is a long gap between the infection and the development of cancer. #LetsTalkCervicalCancer #WorldCancerDay
