Advances in human papillomavirus prevention

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are common mucocutaneous pathogens that cause benign and malignant lesions such as anogenital condyloma and cervical cancer. The last two years have seen important advances in the prevention of HPV-induced pathologies with, in particular, the introduction of the vaccine recommendation for young boys and the search for the viral genome of high-risk HPVs in the first line of screening for cervical cancers in women aged 30 to 65 years.
