HPV is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in the world, yet many people know surprisingly little about it. This week, Hari and Dr. Priyanka break down how HPV spreads, why most sexually active adults will encounter it at some point, and the differences between low-risk and high-risk strains. They discuss the link between HPV and cervical, throat, and other cancers, the importance of screening and vaccination, and why reducing stigma around sexual health leads to better outcomes for everyone.
