Cover Story: The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a prevalent sexually transmitted infection known to cause numerous morbidities, which have increased significantly over two decades. This study investigated awareness and knowledge of HPV, oropharyngeal cancer (OPC), and the HPV vaccine. University students (n = 1005) answered questions related to their awareness and knowledge of HPV. The results indicate relatively high levels of awareness but significant gaps in their knowledge of HPV, OPC, and the HPV vaccine. These data suggest that such limitations may place younger adults at greater risk for HPV-related infections. The present data may guide future efforts directed toward better education on HPV.
