A good proportion of HPV infections are sexually transmitted and frequent infections are linked with cancerous growths. However, most HPV infections are harmless and resolve themselves within 1-2 years. The recent development of an HPV vaccine, administered at the age of 12, has significantly reduced the number of infections in the developed world and is expected to eliminate up to 70% of cervical cancers.
