Summary: This systematic review aimed to explore the psychological factors influencing HPV vaccination uptake in European women. The results showed that knowledge about HPV infection had a positive influence on vaccination rates, while knowledge about HPV vaccination and CC screening did not seem to affect vaccination rates. Other factors such as fear of side effects, insufficient information, and belief in low chances of being infected also influenced vaccination uptake.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the distribution of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) genotypes in women with and without cervical cancer in order to develop a population-based prevention strategy for cervical cancer in Ghana. The results showed that the most common HR-HPV genotypes among women with cervical cancer were 16, 18, 45, 35, and 52, while 66, 52, 35, 43, and 31 were frequently detected in women without cancer. HPV DNA testing and multivalent vaccines targeting HPV 16, 18, 45, and 35 genotypes are crucial for cervical cancer control in Ghana.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate medical students' knowledge of HPV transmission, cancer risk, and vaccination. Results showed gaps in understanding of HPV infection and transmission routes, with intention to recommend HPV vaccine by medical students being linked to their own knowledge and vaccination status.

Summary: This article examines the knowledge and attitudes of Saudi Arabian university students towards human papillomavirus (HPV) and its related vaccine. The results show that the majority of participants have a low level of knowledge about HPV, while their attitudes towards the vaccine are moderate. Furthermore, the study finds a significant correlation between nursing students' demographics and their knowledge and attitudes towards HPV.

Summary: The aim of this study is to assess the barriers and facilitators of the current Romanian HPV vaccination campaign. The results showed that the inclusion of HPV vaccination in the National Vaccination Program is the most important factor in promoting vaccination. On the other hand, vaccine hesitancy often stems from the high cost of the vaccine and a lack of proper information.

Summary: The ACIP has recommended HPV vaccination for adolescents since 2006, but its uptake has lagged behind other adolescent vaccines. The ACIP recommends starting HPV vaccination at 11-12 y, with 9 y as an option. This commentary summarizes the current recommendations and evidence regarding HPV vaccination starting at 9 y, and suggests future directions for research and implementation.

Summary: This Australian-based study assessed the prevalence of oral HPV infection in Australian residents and found that the prevalence was 7.2%. The study also found a strong association between oral HPV infection and sexual behaviors, and suggested that HPV vaccination may result in a lower risk of infection with nonavalent HPV types.

Summary: HPV-negative cervical cancers, predominantly adenocarcinomas, pose challenges in diagnosis and management due to unclear etiology and possible false negative results. It is important to pay greater attention to these cases as they are often diagnosed at advanced stages with poor prognoses.

Summary: French adolescents and their parents show a certain level of distrust and lack of knowledge about the HPV vaccine. Pharmacists play a crucial role in promoting vaccination and restoring confidence in the target population. However, there are gaps in their knowledge, and measures such as training, computer alerts, and supportive materials are needed to improve the promotion and coverage of the HPV vaccine. Additionally, a majority of pharmacists support a pharmacy-based vaccination program.

Summary: Cervical cancer remains a significant global challenge, but developed countries have made progress with structured screening programs and HPV vaccination. In a few decades, countries with national HPV vaccination programs are on track for cervical cancer elimination. However, developing countries without these programs still face high rates of morbidity and mortality from cervical cancer. Increasing global HPV vaccine coverage and uptake is crucial for addressing the unequal distribution of cervical cancer incidence.

Summary: This review identified factors affecting HPV vaccine initiation in men, including sociodemographic factors, belief-related variables, family factors, community factors, variables related to needs, and environmental factors. Strategies targeting young males and their families, such as frequent visits to or contact with health care providers, should be implemented to increase HPV vaccination rates in men.
