Routine screenings, like Pap smears and HPV tests, save lives. The CDC recommends the HPV vaccine for boys and girls at age 11 or 12, and it’s available for adults up to age 45. The vaccine is your best defense against preventing cancers caused by HPV.

If you’re experiencing unusual symptoms like pain or abnormal bleeding, don’t wait. Speak with your doctor — because early detection is key. They can talk with you about getting vaccinated and screened to protect your health.
