HPV Awareness Days
HPV Awareness Days
The 27th of July marks World Head and Neck Cancer Day. Although this type of cancer has traditionally been linked to smoking and heavy drinking, in recent years HPV (human papillomavirus) has become the leading cause.
Meanwhile, 4th March marks HPV Awarness Day. STIEF is proud to be a campaign partner of the International Papillomavirus Society's HPV Awareness Day, working with a global network to raise awareness of HPV and prevention.
