HPV types with “low risk” can cause genital warts (condylomas). These appear in the external genital and anal area as cauliflower-like growths of varying sizes. Genital warts usually cause no symptoms, rarely itching or burning. <\/p>\n\n
Some “high risk” HPV types can trigger certain precancerous stages and diseases. These include cervical cancer and various other cancers in the anal and genital area and in the throat. HPV-associated cancers can particularly affect people with immune deficiencies. <\/p>\n\n
The vaccination protects against the nine HPV types that most frequently cause genital warts and cancers in the genital tract. The risk of infection with HPV is highest at the beginning of sexual activity. The HPV vaccination is therefore most beneficial if it is given before the first sexual contact. <\/p>\n\n
You can also come for vaccination without an appointment. Otherwise you can book a test and counselling appointment:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n
