The Current Knowledge About Genital HPV Infection Prevention

HPV infection, the well-known cause of most types of cervical cancer, represents a condition that can be prevented by vaccination, early detection, and eventually treatment, before progressing into invasive cancer with an obscure prognosis. Developed countries have already implemented vaccination programs and populational screening for cervical cancer strategies and they aim to transform cervical cancer into a rare condition or even eradicated one. In Romania, unfortunately, the vaccination, as well as the screening program, are opportunistic, and the incidence of cervical dysplasia or even cervical cancer remains high. It is time to promote primary and secondary prevention, offer information to the patients, and assure the well-being of Romanian women.
