Human papilloma virus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections. The vaccine has the maximum benefit when given before starting sexual activity and its efficacy is proved also in sexually active women in which the incidence of the infection is higher. In 2010 a questionnaire on HPV was administered to 299 female students of University of Rome Tor Vergata. The results compared with those obtained in a similar 2007-08 survey, and with international data, showed that knowledge about HPV is still low, with a negative impact on the acceptance of specific preventive measures.
人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）是最常见的性传播感染之一。该疫苗在开始性行为之前接种时益处最大，并且在感染发生率较高的性活跃女性中其有效性也得到了证实。2010年，对罗马第二大学的299名女学生进行了一项关于HPV的问卷调查。将结果与2007 - 2008年类似调查中获得的结果以及国际数据进行比较后发现，关于HPV的知识仍然匮乏，这对特定预防措施的接受度产生了负面影响。
