HPV (human papillomavirus) is the most common sexually transmitted infection. Certain strains can lead to genital warts or cancer. The HPV vaccine helps prevent contracting this common virus.
Who Should Get Vaccinated?
The CDC recommends HPV vaccination for adolescents starting at age 11 through age 26. It’s also advised for adult travellers under age 27, especially those:
Engaging in new sexual relationships abroad
Having multiple partners while travelling
Seeking medical care overseas where equipment may not be sterilised
The HPV vaccine consists of 2-3 doses over 6 months for full protection. Get vaccinated at our travel clinic before your trip.
Practice safe sex
In addition to vaccination, travellers can prevent HPV and other STIs through:
Using condoms correctly every time
Limiting sexual activities to trusted partners
Avoiding sexual contact with commercial sex workers
Not sharing sex toys or dental dams
Getting tested regularly, especially after new partners abroad
