HPV, also known as “human papillomavirus”, is a DNA virus commonly found in humans, vertebrates and insects. It is transmitted mainly through sexual contact and can infect the human epidermis and mucous membranes. There are more than 200 types of HPV, and it is one of the most important infectious pathogens of men and women. Research data shows that regardless of men and women, everyone has a 50-80% chance of being infected with HPV in the course of of their life, and they will be repeatedly infected. Although HPV infection can be prevented through vaccines, due to the lack of public awareness of HPV, especially the risk of cancer in men, the vaccination rate is still very low. Types are still insufficient to meet the domestic demand for vaccination, especially males should not be ignored or excluded.

The two stressed that if most women can have the chance to be vaccinated against HPV, the chance of diagnosis will be greatly reduced. At the same time, Commissioner Lai called on middle school children to be included in the vaccine Publicly funded HPV, so that home HPV cervical cancer vaccines can be implemented. By its fourth anniversary, Taiwan is expected to keep up with the world trend and make progress in human papillomavirus prevention. That is to say, both men and women over the age of 18 can be vaccinated at public expense, so as to effectively expand coverage and make the HPV vaccine play better and is more in line with the health needs of the chinese people.
