17 HPV Prevention-Vaccines Vaccines prevent cancer & genital warts Bivalent vaccine (Cervarix ) protects against high risk types 16, 18 (70% Ca) Quadrivalent (Gardasil ) protects against cervical cancer high risk 16, 18 & types 6, 11 genital warts Recommend all girls age 11-12y (9-26y) prior to onset of sexual activity Consider recommendation for all boys What about HPV & Paps? Now have vaccines that protect against most oncogenic strains (16,18) Do not screen with Pap until 21 yo, may see minor changes related to new HPV infection-no intervention->most resolve STI annual screens YES Vaccine best preventive measure! MALE CT SCREENING?** STD, Job Corps, <30 y in military & jails, juvenile detention, < 25 y in high rate communities Use urine NAATs-CT/GC; pool urine OK Partners of CT(+) men refer for Rx Expedited partner Rx works Consider young males for HPV vaccine ** Male CT Screening Consult, CDC

18 Δ CDC Treatment Guidelines 2010 Few major changes from 2006 Adolescent Males CT screening recommended in high risk areas/ institutions (jail, etc.) HSV Rx minor dosage changes HPV vaccination for all girls y (9-26 y) and consider all boys/males Most Important Things to Remember Teens do listen to advice from docs More important to take 5 minutes to talk prevention than doing entire PE Encourage abstinence ok if also talk safety if sexually active Sexual violence is common-screen/refer Getting them to change 1 behavior better than expecting a whole makeover -takes time Don t forget boys: Sperm Ownership works Resources for Providers, Teens and Parents 18
