Hand Hygiene: do we know the WHO 5 moments?

Abstract

Current research shows that some HPV types are high risk and can cause certain cancers. Most of these cancers are caused by two high-risk types, HPV 16 and 18. The parts of the body most susceptible to high-risk HPV infections are squamous cell tissue of the cervix, genital areas (vagina, vulva, and penis), and oropharynx (back of the throat, base of the tongue, and tonsils). These specific cancers are referred to as HPV-associated cancers.
